The Expectant Bride
Author: William Chatterton Dix Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Put on thy beautiful robes, Bride of Christ Lyrics:
1 Put on thy beautiful robes, Bride of Christ,
For the King shall embrace thee today,
Break forth into singing, the morning has dawned,
And the shadows of the night speed away.
2 Shake off the dust from thy feet, Bride of Christ,
For the Conqueror, girded with might,
Has vanquished the devil, the dragon cast down,
And the cohorts of Hell put to flight.
3 Thou art the Bride of His love, His elect—
Dry thy tears, for thy sorrows are past;
Long were all the hours when thy Lord was away,
But He comes with the morning at last.
4 The winds bear the noise of His chariot wheels,
And the thunders of victory roar;
Lift up thy beautiful gates, Bride of Christ,
For the grave has dominion no more.
5 Once they arrayed Him with scorning, but see,
His apparel is glorious now:
In His hand are the keys of death and of hell,
And the diadem gleams on His brow.
6 Hark! ’tis her voice: Alleluia—she sings—
Alleluia, the captives are free;
Unfolded now the gates of paradise stand,
And unfolded they for ever shall be.
7 Choir answers choir, where the song has no end,
All the saints raise hosannahs on high;
Deep calls unto deep in the ocean of love,
As the Bride lifts her jubilant cry!
