Mid the splendours of the glory,
Which we hope ere long to share,
Christ, our head, and we, His member,
Shall appear divinely fair;
|:O how glorious! :|
When we meet Him in the air!
From the dateless, timeless periods,
He has loved us without cause;
And for all His blood-bought myriads,
His love, that knows no pause;
|:Matchless Lover! :|
Changeless as th’ eternal laws!
O what gifts shall yet be granted,
Palms and crowns, and robes of white,
When the hope for which we panted
Bursts upon our gladdened sight,
|:And our Saviour :|
Makes us glorious through His might.
Bright the prospect soon that greets us
Of that longed-for nuptial day,
When our heavenly
Bridegroom meets us
On His kingly, conquering way;
|: in the glory :|
Bride and Bridegroom reign for aye!
