|
<p>O Father, all creating,<br>
|
|
Whose wisdom, love, and power<br>
|
|
First bound two lives together<br>
|
|
In Eden’s primal hour,<br>
|
|
Today to these Thy children<br>
|
|
Thine earliest gifts renew,<br>
|
|
A home by Thee made happy,<br>
|
|
A love by Thee kept true.</p>
|
|
<p>O Savior, Guest most bounteous<br>
|
|
Of old in Galilee,<br>
|
|
Vouchsafe today Thy presence<br>
|
|
With these who call on Thee;<br>
|
|
Their store of earthly gladness<br>
|
|
Transform to heavenly wine,<br>
|
|
And teach them, in the tasting,<br>
|
|
To know the gift is Thine.</p>
|
|
<p>O Spirit of the Father,<br>
|
|
Breathe on them from above,<br>
|
|
So mighty in Thy pureness,<br>
|
|
So tender in Thy love;<br>
|
|
That, guarded by Thy presence,<br>
|
|
From sin and strife kept free,<br>
|
|
Their lives may own Thy guidance,<br>
|
|
Their hearts be ruled by Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Except Thou build it, Father,<br>
|
|
The house is built in vain;<br>
|
|
Except Thou, Savior, bless it,<br>
|
|
The joy will turn to pain;<br>
|
|
But naught can break the union<br>
|
|
Of hearts in Thee made one;<br>
|
|
And love Thy Spirit hallows<br>
|
|
Is endless love begun.</p>
