The marriage feast is ready

Gerard Moultrie • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 25:6

Verse 1

The marriage feast is ready, The marriage of the Lamb, He calls the faithful children Of faithful Abraham: Now from the golden portals The sounds of triumph ring; The triumph of the Victor, The marriage of the King.

Verse 2

Nor sigh nor sorrow enter Where Jesus leads them in; Nor death may cross the threshold, Nor pain, nor fear, nor sin: Now shades of night and darkness Are past and fled away, Before the radiant brightness Of everlasting day.

Verse 3

No tear-drops stain that threshold, No weeping eyes are there; For God hath wiped all tear-drops, And God hath stilled all care: The sunlight of the Presence, The bright Shechinah-flame, Lights upon the bridal banquet Of God and of the Lamb.
