  1. O God be praised, who reigns above,
      For granting us salvation!
      We have through Jesus Christ, His Son,
      Obtained regeneration.
 
  2. Our heavy debt He did forgive
      And gave us raiments spotless.
      His Spirit did our souls revive;
      Our hearts were filled with gladness.
 
  3. He cleansed us from each sinful stain
      Through precious blood of Jesus.
      He did unite us then with Him,
      From Adam’s fall redeemed us.
 
  4. The wedding garment white as snow
      He gave us in baptism.
      Through righteousness in Him we have
      To a new life arisen.
 
  5. In this pure garment, white and fair,
      Of heavenly perfection
      He calls us to His supper there;
      O, blessed invitation!
 
  6. Ye children of the Lord, rejoice
      In true and holy union,
      That ye are called to sup with Him
      In such divine communion.
 
  7. A mansion He has now prepared
      For us in heaven’s glory,
      And with the robe of righteousness
      He clothes us pure and holy.
 
  8. Rejoice, thou holy Church of God,
      Christ’s advent now is nearing!
      For He shall come to call His bride
      With angel hosts appearing.
 
  9. Your wedding robes keep free from stain;
      Your soul guard from deception.
      Thou wilt enjoy with Jesus there
      A glorious reception.
 
10. O, blest are they who here receive
      The Bridegroom’s invitation
      And who endure unto the end
      All trials and tribulation!
 
11. And after all the many griefs
      Through which they here are going,
      In glory they shall then rejoice
      With crowns of beauty glowing.
 
12. O, therefore Zion, God’s own host,
      Hold fast to faith’s assurance;
      Stay true, and thou shalt then receive
      A crown for thy endurance!

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
