A Wedding Hymn

Verse 1

Since Jesus freely did appear To grace a marriage feast, O Lord, we ask Thy presence here, To be a wedding Guest.

Verse 2

Upon the bridal pair look down, Who now have plighted hands; Their union with Thy favor crown, And bless the nuptial bands.

Verse 3

In purest love these souls unite, That they with Christian care, May make domestic burdens light By taking mutual share.

Verse 4

And when that solemn hour shall come, And life's short space be o'er, May they in triumph reach that home, Where they shall part no more.
