This hymn describes the eternal bond between the Bride and the Groom. It’s expressed as a dangerous journey that the bride takes in search of her Groom. It explains that the Heavenly Groom sacrificed His life on the cross and has risen from the dead for the salvation of the Church, who is His bride.

Lyrics

I the Church am the true bride
Of the Most Exalted One.

1. “I am bless’d,” exclaims the Church,
“Who has truly betrothed me?
I worship the True Bridegroom
Who came down and betrothed me.”

2. On that day He betrothed me
Creation was astonished,
For He made this poor girl rich.
Oh how He exalted me!

3. In the heights He established
A bridal chamber for me.
Where I may rejoice with friends
I am bless’d to confess Him.

4. He took me from idols and
Revealed His Myst’ries to me.
He said, “I will be with you
Until the end of the world.”

5. The Son of the King gave me
All the riches that He brought.
Riches from His Father’s House
Therefore I will worship Him.

6. Woe to Satan who misleads
And corrupts me with idols.
Praise Jesus, Who redeemed me,
And Who has made me worthy.

7. In baptism He clothed me,
With armor of the Spirit,
And placed His Body and Blood
As the ring on my finger.

8. The groom resembles the sun
And the bride is like the day.
The marriage feast resembles
A tree which has great fragrance.

9. When I heard of His Good News
My mind burned with love for Him.
Even before seeing Him,
I confessed Him and was bless’d.

10. I searched out the sea and land
No one told me where He was.
I sought Him in Bethlehem
But He had left for Egypt.

11. I went after Him with joy
But when I came to Egypt,
They told me that He left for
Nazareth in Galilee.

12. I set out on a journey
To find Him in Nazareth.
When I reached there I was told,
“He left for River Jordan.”

13. I had no fear of the way,
Nor had I fear of robbers.
I set out for the Jordan
And searched for Him in the crowd.

14. Exhausted, I slept a while.
When I awoke they told me,
“The Bridegroom invites you to
Come for the great wedding feast!”

15. I decided to go and
Seek my Master at the feast.
When I reached there I was served
The good wine that He had made.

16. The groom and his friends asked me,
“Holy One, whom do you seek?
Your beloved is not here;
He left for the wilderness.”

17. The fragrant breath of His love
Illumined and gladdened me.
I rushed to the wilderness
And searched for him in the crowds.

18. I inclined my ear and heard
A voice in the crowd saying,
“Her belov’d has been raised up
On the Tree on Golgotha.”

19. Overcome with grief I wept
And ran to Zion for Him.
When I reached there I was told
He had been placed in a tomb.

20. Hearing this, I wept with pain
And leaned my head on the Tree.
An angel appeared saying,
“Weep not for Christ is risen!”

21. I heard His voice and rejoiced
And my face became radiant.
I embraced Him and kissed Him;
Lovingly He spoke to me.

22. “Come in peace, O Holy One,
Whom I betrothed on the Cross.
To My Father, I ascend;
He shall send you the Spirit”

Lord, have mercy upon us and help us.
