LORD, Who at Cana didst appear To bless a marriage feast, Grant us Thy gracious presence here; Come, O Thou Sovereign Guest! |
|||
2 | Upon the bridal pair look down, Who now have joined their hands; Their union with Thy favour crown, And bless their marriage bands. |
||
3 | With grace divine their hearts endow, Of all rich gifts the best! Their substance bless, and peace bestow To sweeten all the rest. |
||
4 | In purest love their souls unite, That they, with Christian care, May make domestic burdens light, By taking mutual share. |
||
5 | Through life their every step attend With tokens of Thy love; And, having reached their journey’s end, Complete their bliss above. |
