Rejoice! Rejoice! Our Bridegroom’s coming,
And the time will not be long
Before we hail that wedding morning
And lift up the glad new song.
And the time will not be long
Before we hail that wedding morning
And lift up the glad new song.
Oh, wondrous day! Oh, glorious morning,
When the Christ we love shall come:
With vessels filled and lamps all burning
Let us welcome His return.

Oh, let us now redeem each moment,
More the precious oil to buy,
And have our vessels filled with ointment
Ere we hear the midnight cry.
More the precious oil to buy,
And have our vessels filled with ointment
Ere we hear the midnight cry.

Oh, what a joy it is preparing
For our wedding with the Lord,
E’en in the tribulations sharing
For the bliss of such reward!

E’en in the tribulations sharing
For the bliss of such reward!

Oh, with what rapture and rejoicing
Shall the wedding day begin;
And then a thousand years of dining
At the marriage feast with Him!

And then a thousand years of dining
At the marriage feast with Him!
