328. O Bride Of Christ, Rejoice

1 O Bride of Christ, rejoice!
Exultant raise thy voice
To hail the day of glory,
Foretold in sacred story.

Refrain:
Hosanna, praise and glory,
Our King, we bow before Thee.

2 Let shouts of gladness rise
Triumphant to the skies.
Here comes the King most glorious
To reign o'er all victorious. [Refrain]

3 He wears no kingly crown,
Yet as a king He's known;
Tho' not arrayed in splendor,
He still makes death surrender. [Refrain]

4 Thy heart now open wide,
Bid Christ with thee abide;
He graciously will hear thee
And be forever near thee. [Refrain]

5 E'en babes with one accord
With thee shall praise the Lord,
And ev'ry gentile nation
Respond with exultation. [Refrain]
