Tune: St Fulbert
('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')
*********
The Lord did come, a Bride He sought
He obtained it, blood-bought
For through His Son He paid the price
Of our sins, all-suffice (all-sufficient)
He is the Groom, we are His Bride
The Church, He does reside
By His Spirit within our hearts
Comes to possess all parts
Help us learn, love, be faithful spouse
We of your church, your house
You our husband, yet Father too
Your people you renew
You would come, care, redeem each one
Who does trust in your Son
For forgiveness and salvation
Eternal life [to] each one
