The local churches are preparing for

The local churches are preparing for the Lord’s return—

We know the time is near for our Bridegroom so dear.

He’s coming back to claim the Bride for which His heart doth yearn

That with Him we may be through all eternity.

The Christ we love is coming soon

And He will come as our Bridegroom.

We’ll wait for Him

we’ll watch and pray—

It may be today

it may be today!

How we must give Him all our heart and from all idols turn!

Oh

who else could there be who loves so tenderly?

Lord Jesus

You’re the only One who makes our heart to burn—

O please do not delay! Come quickly

e’en today!

A glorious Bride He is preparing for His wedding day;

She’ll be so bright and pure

fine linen covering her.

O Lord

work in Thy righteousness

this is the only way;

And blessed we will be to join that feast with Thee.
