O lovely Bridegroom
we long for Thy returning;
Quicken that day: increase Thyself in us.
Lord
beautify each member with Thy beauty;
Thy bride we’ll be
prepared and glorious.
our nat’ral strength e’er fails us;
Hopeless Thou found us
and one gift Thou gave:
Our little pow’r to cling to our Beloved
Leaning on Thee and guided all the way.
have mercy on Thy people
That we’d forsake all other loves but Thee
Cleaving to Thee
our dear and faithful Husband;
Loving Thee solely
unreservedly.
Thy burning love compels us
That we’d be ready for that wedding day.
E’er we’d adorn the church with all Thy riches;
Her beauty then Thou wouldst desire for aye.
we yearn to hear Thy speaking:
“You’re altogether beautiful
My love!”
Aching for Thee
Thy coming we would hasten
Till at Thy wedding feast we meet above.
