20. O Bride of Christ, Rejoice

1 O bride of Christ, rejoice;
Exultant raise your voice.
Now comes the King, who glorious
Reigns over all victorious.
Hosanna! Now adore him,
Our king; we bow before him!

2 Let shouts of gladness rise
Triumphant to the skies.
The King who comes in meekness
Is strong to heal our weakness.
Hosanna! Now adore him,
Our king; we bow before him!

3 Your heart now open wide;
Bid Christ with you abide.
He graciously will hear you
And be forever near you.
Hosanna! Now adore him,
Our king; we bow before him!
