"A Wedding Prayer" by Alfred P. Gibbs

think the words are beautiful... would be nice to have this song at my wedding =)




Thou glorious Bridegroom who from heaven’s splendour, came to the cross, Thy chosen Bride to gain; 
Draw near, we pray, and grace this happy union, and o’er their lives do Thou supremely reign!

We seek for them, Oh Lord Thy benediction, each good and perfect gift from heav’n above; 
The strength of faith, of courage, and forbearance, the light of wisdom and the warmth of love.

O, may they prove Thy grace is all sufficient, those needs to meet they cannot now foresee; 
And have the conscious sense of Thine own presence, as they in all their ways, acknowledge Thee.

Into Thy gracious hands we now commend them, for that rich blessing Thou alone can give; 
And pray that they may grow in grace and knowledge, and for Thy glory ever seek to live.
