"BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH,
GO YE OUT TO MEET HIM."
   --author unknown

Oh radiant hour, the Son of Man returns!
Our Bridegroom comes for Whom affection yearns,
Millions ascend to meet earth's matchless King,
Who breaks all bondage and removes death's sting.

The trump of God, whose blast the signal.sound
Re.echoes through each land the world around.
Conquerors and kings must bow to sov'reign sway,
Our Lord shall wipe all tyranny away.

The thunder clouds reverberate their clash
With dazzling brilliance of the light'ning's flash.
The Day of God, august in its display
Shall usher in the kingdom's perfect day.

Astounded earthly empires all inert,
The righteous Lord shall now His will assert,
The keys of death and hell are His by right,
Emblazoned emblems of the Victor's might.

Fair Star of morning, Splendor of the East,
Heaven's Prince of Peace, by Whom we are released,
A glorious crest is graven on His breast,
"The Word of God" "The Lord of Hosts," our Rest.

National hate and racial strife are past,
A unified new order dawns at last,
Beneath one scepter all earth's pow'rs subdued,
Thy ransomed saints are perfectly renewed.

Behold, what bliss in tranquil joy profound,
The sweetest praises everywhere resound!
Great throngs applaud, the new creation sings
To honor Christ, the mighty "King of Kings."
