Lyrics
Lift like a trumpet shout, when your heart s love is high
See the builders despising the stone, when your heart s love is high
for the bridegroom comes
Like the leper turned around who has kissed the saint, and he sees for the blind
when the halt and the lame meet the son
won t you listen in the dark for the midnight cry
Then won t you who are weary invite in the son, then won t you who are thirsty invite him to come, when your heart s love is high
And he speaks for the dumb, guests who would not their own wedding garment put on
Let their poor heart s complaint, and he speaks for the dumb
For the bridegroom comes, and see how his mercy shines
When the halt and the lame meet the son, and he sees for the blind, then won t you who are thirsty invite him to come
And see how his mercy shines, like the leper turned around who has kissed the saint
as the bridegroom comes
Though the chosen are few, into cold outer darkness are gone
Into cold outer darkness are gone, won t you hasten to the place where the hour is nigh
And see how his mercy shines, when your heart s love is high, and he speaks for the dumb
Guests who would not their own wedding garment put on, as the bridegroom comes Comes, and see how his mercy shines
Lift like a trumpet shout, be exultant with the rose when the last are first, then won t you who are thirsty invite him to come
And pray that your love endure til the bridegroom comes, hear the bride and the spirit say come
As the bridegroom comes, hear the bride and the spirit say come, see the builders despising the stone
When the halt and the lame meet the son, let their poor heart s complaint
Into cold outer darkness are gone, be exultant with the rose when the last are first
And pray that your love endure til the bridegroom comes, let their poor heart s complaint
Let their poor heart s complaint, and he sees for the blind
And pray that your love endure til the bridegroom comes, and pray that your love endure til the bridegroom comes
and he speaks for the dumb
By the pharisees cursed, let their poor heart s complaint
then won t you who are thirsty invite him to come
Guests who would not their own wedding garment put on, see the pearl of great price and the dry desert bones
Lift like a trumpet shout, like the leper turned around who has kissed the saint Bridegroom, and the bridegroom come
Though the chosen are few, and he sees for the blind Judee, for the bridegroom comes
for the bridegroom comes
Into cold outer darkness are gone, with your door opened wide
And the bridegroom come, see the bride and the spirit are one
And see that your light is on, when the halt and the lame meet the son
with your door opened wide
guests who would not their own wedding garment put on
By the pharisees cursed, by the pharisees cursed
And see that your light is on, like the leper turned around who has kissed the saint
and he speaks for the dumb
When the halt and the lame meet the son, as the bridegroom comes
Won t you listen in the dark for the midnight cry, when your heart s love is high
Then won t you who are weary invite in the son, lift like a trumpet shout, into cold outer darkness are gone
