Rejoice! Rejoice! Our Bridegroom’s coming

10/16/2025
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, 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, 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, with what rapture and rejoicing
  Shall the wedding day begin;
And then a thousand years of dining
  At the marriage feast with Him!
