|
<p>The voice that breathed o’er Eden, that earliest wedding day,<br>
|
|
The primal wedding blessing, it hath not passed away.<br>
|
|
Still in the pure espousal of Christian man and maid<br>
|
|
The Triune God is with us, the threefold grace is said.</p>
|
|
<p>Be present, loving Father, to give away this bride<br>
|
|
As Thou gav’st Eve to Adam, a helpmate at his side.<br>
|
|
Be present, Son of Mary, to join their loving hands<br>
|
|
As Thou didst bind two natures in Thine eternal bands.</p>
|
|
<p>Be present, Holy Spirit, to bless them as they kneel,<br>
|
|
As Thou for Christ, the Bridegroom, the heav’nly Spouse dost seal.<br>
|
|
Oh, spread Thy pure wing o’er them, let no ill pow’r find place<br>
|
|
When onward to Thine altar their hallowed path they trace.</p>
|
|
<p>To cast their crowns before Thee in humble sacrifice,<br>
|
|
Till to the home of gladness with Christ’s own Bride they rise.<br>
|
|
To Father, Son, and Spirit, eternal One and Three,<br>
|
|
And was and is forever, all praise and glory be.</p>
