For love and faith's sweet sake,
For high mysterious union
Which nought on earth may break;

To join their loving hands,
As Thou didst bind two natures
In Thine eternal bands;

To bless them as they kneel,
As Thou for Christ, the Bridegroom,
The heavenly spouse dost seal.

and fills the sky,
praise God, and share
our Maker's joy.

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.

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.

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

Thine earliest gifts renew,--
A home by Thee made happy,
A love by Thee kept true.

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.

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.

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
