The marriage feast is waiting; The gates wide open stand. Arise, O heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand. 3 The saints, who here in patience Their cross and suff'rings bore, Shall live and reign forever When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb they shall behold; In triumph cast before Him Their diadems of gold. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, O Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere. With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption That sets Your people free! Topics: End Times Used With Tune: HAF TRONES LAMPA FÄRDIG
