1. Sound of His trumpet, thrilling with rapture,
    Ushers the Bridegroom to us again,
    All through the ages, patiently waited,
    Some are now “sleeping”, others remain.

                  CHORUS

    Heavenly Bridegroom! Heavenly Bridegroom!
    Welcome my Saviour, hail Thee, my King!
    Hallelujah! I am rejoicing!
    Singing I go like birds on the wing.

2. Just like a thief Thou comest for treasure,
    Saints from the earth transported shall be,
    Angels from Heaven muster with trumpets,
    Echoing anthems sweetly of Thee.

3. Radiant with glory, luminous, sweet Star,
    Fairer than morning, lovable He,
    Higher than heavens, honoured by Father,
    This is the Lamb slain, even for me.

4. Saints who are sleeping rise in a twinkling,
    Rising immortal caught up to Thee,
    Oh! What a gathering! Some from all nations,
    Meeting with Jesus in secrecy.

5. There up in Heaven, saints for enthroning,
    Eagerly angels wait for that day,
    Bride in her garments, radiant fine linen,
    Honoured by Saviour – this is her day.
