As the Bridegroom to His Chosen

Verse 1:
As the bridegroom to his chosen, as the king unto his realm,
As the keep unto the castle, as the pilot to the helm,
So, Lord, art Thou to me.

Verse 2:
As the fountain in the garden, as the candle in the dark,
As the treasure in the coffer, as the manna in the ark,
So, Lord, art Thou to me.

Verse 3:
As the ruby in the setting, as the honey in the comb,
As the light within the lantern, as the father in the home,
So, Lord, art Thou to me.

Verse 4:
As the sunshine in the heavens, as the image in the glass,
As the fruits upon the fig tree, as the dew upon the grass,
So, Lord, art Thou to me.
