126. Be Ready for the Marriage of the Lamb

1 When the marriage feast is ready in that palace fair,
And the message comes for me,
I’ll be waiting, for I’ve heard the summons to prepare;
With the Bridegroom I soon shall be.

Refrain:
When the marriage feast is ready and they call for me,
I’ll be waiting to go home;
For the special invitation unto all is free:
“Whosoever will may come.”

2 When the children of the royal family gather home
On that joyous festal day,
We shall hear the shouts of vict’ry echo as they come,
Marching upward along the way. [Refrain]

3 All the saints of every age and clime, a blood-washed band,
In their marriage robes unstained,
Shall with joyful acclamation round the Bridegroom stand,
With their greatest desire attained. [Refrain]

4 Heed the warning, be ye ready for that coming day,
Have your garments white as snow,
Lest you be rejected and forever cast away,
And to darkness must sadly go. [Refrain]
