| Thou dost seek a bride all pure and holy |
| Those who now belong to thee alone |
| Those who give thee all their hearts' affections |
| Of thyself a part, bone of thy bone. |
|
|
| Lord we answer to thy heart’s deep longing |
| Even so come quickly Lord we say |
| In our hearts we have the blessed answer |
| Rise my love my fair one come away
|
|
|
| Drawn from every kindred tribe and nation |
| By thy Holy Spirit’s mighty power |
| Finding rest in thee, God’s great salvation |
| Waits thy bride for thine appointed hour
|
|
|
| Sharing with thee in this world’s rejection |
| Putting on thy death to gain a crown |
| By thy blood and word we’re overcomers |
| With thee in thy throne we shall sit down |
