O Eternal God, Creator and Preserver of all mankind,1
Giver of all spiritual grace, the Author of everlasting life:2 Send your blessing upon these your servants, this man and this woman, whom we bless in your Name;3
that, as Isaac and Rebecca lived faithfully together, so these persons may surely perform and keep the vow and covenant between them made, (whereof this Ring given and received is a token and pledge,)4
and may ever remain in perfect love and peace together, and live according to your laws; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.5
