The Groom in his love letter,
An open secret letter,
Says and assures,
He assures his Bride:
'Let not your heart be troubled;
You believe in God,
Believe also in Me.
'In My Father's house
Are many mansion;
If it were not so,
I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place
for you.
If I go and prepare
a place for you,
I will come again and receive
you to Myself;
That where I am,there you
may be also.'
The promise is kept and preserved,
For the toasted and beloved,
Swallowed in the ocean of the
Groom's love.
The promise is now fully fulfilled:
The mansions are sincerely and surely secured.
A place is now prepared,
And ready for occupation.
The mansions are there,
The place is ready,
The Groom is ready,
But the Bride is not ready.
This is why the Groom has not come
To receive the Bride to Himself.
Oh you,beautiful Bride!
Put on your wedding garment,
And be ready to go with your Groom
Who has bought you at a
reasonable price,
That you may be with him.
Let not these filthy garments:
Lust of the flesh,
Lust of the eyes,
And pride of life;
Drive your Groom away forever.
Repent from them
To put on your garment
Your garment of holiness
To go away with your Groom
To occupy your place in the mansions
