1
My soul, reflect on the coming of your Bridegroom.
Let the appearing of your Savior fill your heart with hope.
I will see the face of my Beloved
And sing His praises forever.
2
His trumpet will sound,
And all the holy ones will rise.
The clouds will shine brightly,
And millions upon millions of angels will appear.
3
Through the blood Christ shed on the cross,
I will stand before Him innocent and cleansed.
By His grace, I will live in love
Together with all the saints.
4
I will see the loving radiance in His eyes—
The eyes that shed tears for me.
I will see His hands,
Pierced by the nails for my sake.
5
My Beloved, guard my heart with Your love.
Remove from me every attraction
That this world has to offer.
6
Make Your presence my permanent dwelling place.
Keep the glory of Your coming
Always before the eyes of my heart.
7
A thousand years are like a single day before You.
Therefore, keep my heart from thinking
That You are taking too long,
And help me wait faithfully for You.
8
Even if the world rejects and corrupts me,
My hope is not in vain.
Even if the serpent rages against me,
I will receive what You have promised.
9
By His grace, my God has called me
To belong to His Son.
He is faithful,
And by His glory He will bring this calling
To its perfect fulfillment.
