The marriage of the Lamb draws nigh

1
The marriage of the Lamb draws nigh;
We prepare, watch diligently;
Maturing, builded, sanctified,
Worthy of His love thus we'll be;
Now unfolds a romance all divine;
The Lord hastes for His glorious bride!
 
Lord Jesus, come!
Let our eyes see
Your word come to be!
Come in our generation;
We'll joy in Your company!
"I quickly come," You vowed.

Amen, Lord. Start now.
Lord, may our first love never wane, as we await
That bright glorious day, our wedding day.
2
Belovéd, draw me nearer still,
To enjoy You intimately;
My heart, my all is Yours to fill,
To transform, mature utterly.
May my life express Your righteousness;
Satisfying and matching Thee.
3
The corporate bride, God's heart's desire;
We give all and race desperately;
From individualism freed,
Members, build in love mut'ually;
Each one functioning and blended,
Give Him glory in unity.
4
Bride-warrior, armored, stands arrayed,
Will submissive, God's to obey;
A fearsome army, one with God;
At her banners, foes flee away;
More than conqu'rors, spread to all the earth,
Build God's kingdom, and turn the age.
