Jesus is our lovely Bridegroom

Jesus is our lovely Bridegroom

And our Bridegroom is with us!

Now our praying’s turned to praising

In His Presence glorious.

O our Bridegroom! O our Bridegroom!

Lord

Thou art our Bridegroom sweet!

How we treasure Thy dear presence—

O what bliss and joy complete!

We are fellows of the Bridegroom

And our fasting days have ceased.

With the Bridegroom in His chamber

Joyfully we keep the feast.

We as virgins may enjoy Him

Virgins simple

single

chaste.

Going forth to meet the Bridegroom

Out from all the world we haste.

We are guests by God invited

To His Son’s great wedding feast.

Brothers

sisters

hallelujah

From religion we’re released!

Now rejoice with joy excelling

Joy of joys

all else beside—

Not just fellows

guests

or virgins

Hallelujah

we’re the Bride!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Lord

Thou art our Bridegroom sweet!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

O what bliss and joy complete!
