 1  Jesus is our lovely Bridegroom,

    And our Bridegroom is with us!

    Now our praying's turned to praising

    In His presence glorious.

 

O our Bridegroom! O our Bridegroom!

Lord, Thou art our Bridegroom sweet!

How we treasure Thy dear presence —

O what bliss and joy complete!

 

 2  We are fellows of the Bridegroom

    And our fasting days have ceased.

    With the Bridegroom in His chamber,

    Joyfully we keep the feast.

 

O our Bridegroom! O our Bridegroom!

Lord, Thou art our Bridegroom sweet!

How we treasure Thy dear presence —

O what bliss and joy complete!

 

 3  We as virgins may enjoy Him,

    Virgins simple, single, chaste.

    Going forth to meet the Bridegroom,

    Out from all the world we haste.

 

O our Bridegroom! O our Bridegroom!

Lord, Thou art our Bridegroom sweet!

How we treasure Thy dear presence —

O what bliss and joy complete!

 

 4  We are guests by God invited

    To His Son's great wedding feast.

    Brothers, sisters, hallelujah,

    From religion we're released!

 

O our Bridegroom! O our Bridegroom!

Lord, Thou art our Bridegroom sweet!

How we treasure Thy dear presence —

O what bliss and joy complete!

 

 5  Now rejoice with joy excelling,

    Joy of joys, all else beside —

    Not just fellows, guests, or virgins,

    Hallelujah, we're the Bride!

 

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Lord, Thou art our Bridegroom sweet!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

O what bliss and joy complete!
