Classic Poem

R UTLAND Tune .

O what a wedding day
Will that bright morning bring!
Our spirits married to this clay,
And both to Zion's King!

Angels will shout aloud,
And we with joy shall sing;
Of him that wash'd us in his blood,
This perfect praise we bring.

Praise for our bodies rais'd,
And with our souls made one;
Praise for our twofold nature, plac'd
On Christ's immortal throne.

Praise for the conquest won
From sin, from death, and hell,
Of him that sits upon the throne,
Who has done all things well.

Praise for the conquest gain'd
By faith in Jesu's blood;
The grace which has our spirits train'd
For fellowship with God.

Praise for the prospect sure
Of endless joy and peace,
And light, and life, and love as pure
As God the Fountain is.
