Majestic Marriage

orchidee



Tune: St Gertrude

('Onward, Christian soldiers')

Revelation 19 v.6-9

*********

Voice of great multitude

This John sure he heard

Sound of waters many

Mighty thunderings be

Saying, Alleluia

From all near and far

For the Lord God unfeigns

Omnipotent reigns

 

Chorus

Praise our God, you servants

You be penitents

You that fear Him, great, small

Join in praises all

 

Let us be glad, rejoice

Give glory, one voice

To Him, for marriage here

Has come, does appear

Marriage of Christ, Lamb He

Bride His people, see

She His wife has ready

Made herself, so be - Chorus

 

In fine linen arrayed

There she be displayed

It clean and white, whole, pure

Made out of the store

Of righteous deeds of aints

Without sin, no taints

Perfect, acceptable

She hears Bridegroom's call - Chorus

 

John did write, Blessed are they

That be called that day

To the marriage supper

Of the Lamb, it sure

These be the true sayings

Of God, word He brings

All-powerful ever

Loses strength never - Chorus

    I wonder whether it will ever again be as popular as it has been historically
