Heav’nly Father, hear our prayer
As
we bow before You:
Bless
them in the life they share,
Humbly
we implore You.
Be
their guide in all endeavors,
Be
their hope that nothing severs;
Constant
source of love divine,
Let
Your love within them shine!
2
As
they pledge their love this day
Here
before Your altar,
May
their hearts, upon You stayed,
Never
fail or falter.
Be
their comfort in all sorrow;
Be
their reason for tomorrow.
Grant
them strength to live each hour
Trusting
solely in Your pow’r.
3
Blest
Creator, Lord of life,
Hear
our glad thanksgiving.
Husband
You have joined to wife
For
their earthly living.
Justified
by Jesus’ merit,
Life
eternal they inherit.
When
their days on earth have passed,
Take
them to Your home at last!
