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.

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.
