1 In the souls bright home, beyond the sky,
In a land where the ransomed never die,
There will be a royal banquet by and by,
’Tis the great marriage supper of the Lamb.

Refrain:
Are you going to be there
Are you going to be there,
At the great marriage supper of the Lamb?
With your wedding garment on,
Will you meet the loved ones gone,
At the great marriage supper of the Lamb?

2 Oh, the bride shall shine in bright array
With her tears all forever wiped away–
There will be a great rejoicing on that day–
At the great marriage supper of the Lamb. [Refrain]

3 From all sin forevermore released,
They will come from the west and from the east,
For all nations will be gathered at the feast
Of the great marriage supper of the Lamb. [Refrain]

4 We shall praise him by the crystal tide
When the Lamb that was slain is glorified–
And the ransomed church of God shall be the bride,
At the great marriage supper of the Lamb. [Refrain]
