A Song of the Bride

For Christ my Savior, I will be waiting And be still for my Most Beloved King; I shall hope for His glorious coming And I'll be steadfast, for He's returning! All the day, all my thoughts are my Dearest By night, in mind's the One in Highest All that I've dreamed for is the Holiest And all I longed for's my Love, the Might'yest. Then I remember His love that saved me And His loving-kindness that's set me free I remember His mercy that cleansed me And His charge-less grace that made me holy. One day shall be filled my heart's longing And fulfillment, in thirst, God will bring My joy shall be whole in everlasting For in that day, I shall see my Dear King. How my heart longs for You, my Beloved And how I thirst after You, O our Head! How my soul pants for You, Most Exalted And how I want You here, O Most Blessed! So come, O Jesus Christ, my King - quickly - For I am longing after You so deeply; Come, Almighty my Beloved - quickly - For after You, my Master, I'm thirsty!
