Our Bridegroom soon is coming

Our Bridegroom soon is coming

To claim His holy Bride

The ones whom He has wooed

won

And wholly sanctified.

O Lord

we would be ready

And get our hearts in tune

For the wedding day that’s coming

Very soon.

Oh

the wedding day is coming

Is coming very soon

When the Bride shall be prepared

And shall marry her Bridegroom.

Oh

what love and consecration

Should all our hearts attune

For that wedding day that’s coming

Very soon.

Oh

that fine linen garment

Which on that day we’ll wear

E’en now

Lord

work within us

And stitch by stitch prepare.

For this we would redeem

Every moment opportune

For the wedding day that’s coming

Very soon.

Lord

may Your portion in us

Continually increase

That we may be invited

Unto that wedding feast.

And keep us always watching—

At morning

night

or noon—

For the wedding day that’s coming

Very soon.
