[[Verse 1] O Lord, You cleansed us as Your own, From birth to cross, Your love made known. The dragon roars; Your Bride endures, By grace upheld, our hope secures. Deliver us to Heaven’s throne. [Verse 2] O Christ, You came, the Promised Light, Through shadowed vale and darkest night. Though Satan schemed to bring You down, You rose in triumph, up from the ground. Preserve us by Your sovereign might. [Verse 3] Through wilderness we make our way, A pilgrim Bride from age to age. Your Word sustains, O Spirit lead, Each wick that smolders, each bending reed. Sustain Your Church, dear Lord, we pray. [Verse 4] O Christ, O Bridegroom, faithful, true, Come soon to make creation new. The desert blooms at Your command, Then lead us to the promised land. Forever Yours, our praise renewed. The desert blooms at Your command, Oh lead us to the promised land! Forever Yours, a pilgrim Bride. The desert blooms at Your command, Oh lead us to the promised land! Forever Yours, your pilgrim Bride.
