Matthew 25:1-13

 

 1  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.

 

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.

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.

 

 2  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.

 

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.

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.

 

 3  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!

 

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.

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.

 

 4  Oh, with what rapture and rejoicing

       Shall the wedding day begin;

    And then a thousand years of dining

       At the marriage feast with Him!

 

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.

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.
