 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!
