EN 6032 Bride of Christ, Whose Glorious Warfare

Rev.19.7

Versi Version 1

1

Bride of Christ, whose glorious warfare

Here on earth hath never rest;

Lift thy voice, and tell the triumphs

Of the holy and the blest;

Joyous be the day we hallow,

Feast of all the saints on high,

Earth and Heav’n together blending

In one solemn harmony.

2

First the blessed virgin mother,

Reunited to her Son,

Leads the host of ransomed people,

Who unfading crowns have won;

John, the herald, Christ’s forerunner,

More than prophet, leads his throng,

Seer and patriarch responsive

Unto psalmist in their song.

3

Lo, the twelve, majestic princes,

In the court of Jesus sit,

Calmly watching, while the conflict

Rages far beneath their feet;

Lo, the martyrs, robed in crimson,

Sign of life blood freely spent,

Finding life, because they lost it,

Dwell in undisturbed content.

4

All the saintly host who witnessed

Good confessions for His sake—

Priest and deacon, world renouncing,

Of their Master’s joy partake;

Virgins to the Lamb devoted,

Following with steadfast love,

Bring their lilies and their roses

To the marriage feast above.

5

All, their happy lot fulfilling,

God omnipotent proclaim;

Holy, holy, holy, crying,

Glory to His holy Name!

So may God in mercy grant us

Here to serve in holiness,

Till He call us to the portion

Which His saints in light possess.
