O God of love, to Thee we bow

Verse 1

O God of love, to you we bow, and pray for these before you now, That closely knit in holy vow they may in you become as one.

Verse 2

Whatever comes to be their share of quickening joy or burdening care, In power to do and grace to bear, may they in you remain as one.

Verse 3

Eternal love, with them abide; through change and chance, O be their guide, Let nothing in this life divide those whom you now have joined as one.
