Our Lord, that One of peerless worth

Our Lord

that One of peerless worth

Came first to die to give new birth;

He comes again to have on earth

A glorious Bride forever.

Jesus! Oh

You’re coming soon

Jesus! as our dear Bridegroom;

Jesus! may our hearts make room

To be Your Bride forever.

What our dear Lord desires the most

Is not to just redeem the lost;

But that some saints would pay the cost

To be His Bride forever.

As virgins we must single be

No other husband could have we

That when He comes we’ll then be free

To be His Bride forever.

How could we love this fading world

When Christ desires that one great pearl;

To Him we must our love unfurl

To bring Him back forever.
