Came first to die to give new birth;
He comes again to have on earth
A glorious Bride forever.
Jesus! as our dear Bridegroom;
Jesus! may our hearts make room
To be Your Bride forever.
Is not to just redeem the lost;
But that some saints would pay the cost,
To be His Bride forever.
No other husband could have we,
That when He comes we’ll then be free
To be His Bride forever.
When Christ desires that one great pearl;
To Him we must our love unfurl
To bring Him back forever.
