If the wedding guest makes the best wine,
what delicacies the groom at the marriage supper?
It's from celebration to celebration
He reveals Himself.
He offers star-diamonds to the beloved of God--
what other earthly creature has even seen?
He browses among the lilies
refreshes us with apples.
Some say He cares little for our happiness,
yet appoints new husbands to rest from duty
to make their wives happy for a year.
How much more, longer, better the bridegroom?
How, then, to explain
pleasures at His right hand forevermore?
Feast, sing, exult, serve, laugh, love
in all purity and excellence
thank, thank, thank again
rejoice, submit: our groom has made us glad.
