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.
(Chorus:)
  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.
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!
(Chorus:)
  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!
