When Love Is Found
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #499 (1995) Meter: 4.4.4.4 D Topics: God's Church Marriage and Family; God's Church Marriage and Family; Marriage Lyrics: 1 When love is found
and hope comes home,
sing and be glad
that two are one.
When love explodes
and fills the sky,
praise God, and share
our Maker's joy.
2 When love has flowered
in trust and care,
build both each day,
that love may dare
to reach beyond
home's warmth and light,
to serve and strive
for truth and right.
3 When love is tried
as loved ones change,
hold still to hope
though all seems strange,
till ease returns
and love grows wise
through listening ears
and opened eyes.
4 When love is torn
and trust betrayed,
pray strength to love
till torments fade,
till lovers keep
no score of wrong
but hear through pain
love's Easter song.
5 Praise God for love,
praise God for life,
in age or youth,
in calm or strife.
Lift up your hearts!
Let love be fed
through death and life
in broken bread. Languages: English Tune Title: O WALY WALY

O Father all creating
Author: J. Ellerton Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #534 (1913) Topics: Various Occasions Marriage and the Home; Various Occassions Marriage and the Home Lyrics: 1 O Father all creating,
Whose wisdom, love, and power
First bound two lives together
In Eden's primal hour,
Today to these Thy children
Thine earliest gifts renew,--
A home by Thee made happy,
A love by Thee kept true.
2 O Savior, guest most bounteous
Of old in Galilee,
Vouchsafe today Thy presence
With these who call on Thee;
Their store of earthly gladness
Transform to heavenly wine,
And teach them, in the tasting,
To know the gift is Thine.
3 O Spirit of the Father,
Breathe on them from above,
So mighty in Thy pureness,
So tender in Thy love;
That guarded by Thy presence,
From sin and strife kept free,
Their lives may own Thy guidance,
Their hearts be ruled by Thee.
4 Except Thou build it, Father,
The house is built in vain;
Except Thou, Savior, bless it,
The joy will turn to pain;
But naught can break the marriage
Of hearts in Thee made one,
And love Thy Spirit hallows
Is endless love begun. Tune Title: [O Father all creating]
O Father all creating
Lord, who at Cana's wedding feast
Author: Adelaide Thrupp Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #536 (1913) Topics: Various Occasions Marriage and the Home; Various Occassions Marriage and the Home Lyrics: 1 Lord, who at Cana’s wedding feast
Didst as a guest appear,
Thou dearer far than earthly guest,
Vouchsafe Thy presence here;
For holy Thou indeed dost prove
The marriage vow to be,
Proclaiming it a type of love
Between the Church and Thee.
2 The holiest vow that man can make,
The golden thread in life,
The bond that none may dare to break,
That bindeth man and wife;
Which, blessed by Thee, whate’er betides,
No evil shall destroy,
Through care-worn days each care divides,
And doubles every joy.
3 On those, who now before Thee kneel,
O Lord, Thy blessing pour,
That each may wake the other’s zeal
To love Thee more and more:
O grant them here in peace to live,
In purity and love,
And, this world leaving, to receive
A crown of life above. Tune Title: [Lord, who at Cana's wedding feast]
Lord, who at Cana's wedding feast

Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #548 (2011) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Topics: The Living Church Marriage; Marriage Lyrics: 1 The voice that breathed o’er Eden,
That earliest wedding day,
The primal marriage blessing,
It hath not passed away.
2 Still in the pure espousal
Of Christian man and maid,
The holy Three are with us,
The threefold grace is said,
3 For dower of blessed children,
For love and faith's sweet sake,
For high mysterious union
Which naught on earth may break.
4 Be present, awful Father,
To give away this bride,
As Eve Thou gav’st to Adam
Out of his own pierced side:
5 Be present, Son of Mary,
To join their loving hands,
As Thou didst bind two natures
In Thine eternal hands!
6 Be present, holiest Spirit,
To bless them as they kneel,
As Thou, for Christ the Bridegroom,
The heavenly Spouse dost seal!
7 O spread Thy pure wing o’er them,
Let no ill power find place,
When onward to Thine altar
Their hallowed path they trace.
8 To cast their crowns before Thee
In perfect sacrifice,
Till to the home of gladness
With Christ’s own Bride they rise.
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 5:31 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALPHEGE
