Lord Je­sus, who didst once ap­pear
To grace a mar­riage feast;
We now be­seech Thy pre­sence here,
To make this wed­ding blest.
With grace the bride and bride­groom speed;
Thy love their pat­tern be;
May heart with heart be true in­deed,
As knit, O Lord, in Thee.

In pure­st love their souls unite,
That they with Christ-like care,
May make each other’s bur­den light,
By tak­ing mu­tu­al share.
And look­ing to their heav’n­ly home,
Oh, may they dwell each day,
As heirs of life till Thou shalt come
To take Thy bride away.
