1.

Soon we’ll celebrate the wedding feast of Jesus and His bride.
What a day! Wondrous day!
Clothed in deeds of righteousness,
Pure and shining white her dress—
What a day! O wondrous day!

Chorus:

Just think, from heaven soon God’s trumpet will be sounding.
What a day! Wondrous day!
When Jesus calls with the archangel’s voice, resounding—
When the bride and Bridegroom meet—
O wondrous day!

2.

When all tears are wiped away and there’s no longer any sin,
What a day! Wondrous day!
When no war on earth is found,
Harps with praise shall then resound.
What a day! O wondrous day!

3.

The new song will like the rush of many waters then sound forth.
What a day! Wondrous day!
We shall always there abide
By our precious Savior’s side.
What a day! O wondrous day!

4.

Every saint who here has battled we shall meet with on that day.
What a day! Wondrous day!
And our joy will be complete
When our Jesus Christ we meet.
What a day! Wondrous day!
