With bridal care Yourselves prepare To meet the Bridegroom, who is near! 2. Zion hears the watchmen singing, And all her heart with joy is springing, She wakes, she rises from her gloom; For her Lord comes down all glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious, Her Star is ris'n, her Light is come! Now come Thou Blessed One, Lord Jesus, God's own Son, Hail! Hosanna! The joyful call We answer all, And follow to the nuptial hall. 3. Glory unto Thee be given, By men and by the host of heaven, With harp and cymbal's clearest tone; Of one pearl each shining portal, Where we are with the choir immortal Of angels round Thy dazzling throne. Nor eye hath seen, nor ear Hath yet attained to hear Such great glory; Therefore will we Eternally Sing hymns of joy and praise to Thee.

When I have crossed death’s chilly sea Will He His love there show? O, yes, He heard my feeble cries, From bondage set me free; And when I reach the pearly gates, He will remember me. 2 O, what a shame to kill Him There on that rugged cross; But such a death was needed To rescue all the lost. His blood was made a ransom To set the captives free; I know that I’m included and He will remember me. [Refrain] 3 At His dear feet I’m kneeling, My sins I now confess; I bow in deep repentance, My soul He’ll surely bless. My blinded eyes He opens So that the light I see; And when I reach the pearly gates He will remember me. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 23:42-43 Used With Tune: HE WILL REMEMBER ME

What are these in bright array

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 379 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Heaven Lyrics: 1 What are these in bright array, This innumerable throng, Round the altar night and day Hymning one triumphant song? "Worthy is the Lamb, once slain, Blessing, honor, glory, power, Wisdom, riches to obtain, New dominion every hour." 2 These through fiery trials trod; These from great affliction came; Now, before the throne of God, Sealed with His Almighty Name, Clad in raiment pure and white, Victor-palms in every hand, Through their dear Redeemer's might, More than conquerors they stand. 3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown, On immortal fruits they feed; Them the Lamb amidst the throne Shall to living fountains lead: Joy and gladness banish sighs; Perfect love dispels all fears; And for ever from their eyes God shall wipe away the tears.
