Glorious day of rejoicing!
Upon streets of gold we'll dance;
O hear the angels voicing,
'Tis the day of the Great Romance!
The Bride begins her singing,
Christ, Himself, will enter in.
Throughout Heaven is a ringing
The Wedding's about to begin!
O see the Father's face beaming,
His happiness fulfilled!
Gazing upon Jesus the Redeeming,
A hush falls, All are stilled.
This is the day of Promise,
The Father whispers to His Son.
No more doubts like those of Thomas,
A new age has just begun.
'Twas first in the fullness of time,
Now it is time fulfilled.
When all believers enter in
And all of Heaven's filled.
Love is resounding, there's no more grieving;
The Bride before Him in full array,
With arms open the Son is receiving
The joy that was set before Him on that day.
The delight of the Father is clear to see
For He prepared this Bride so lovingly.
Now He can stand before His Son and say
Here is the fullness promised to You on that day.
