Lord Jesus, who didst once appear

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.

With gifts of grace their hearts endow of all rich dowries best; Their substance bless, and peace bestow, To sweeten all the rest.

In purest love their souls unite That they with Christ-like care May make each other's burdens light By taking mutual share.

And looking to their heavenly home O may they dwell each day As heirs of life till Thou shalt come To take Thy bride away.
