Matt. 19.6 MARRIAGE
May God bless these two souls who join as one,
Bonded now through the sacred ties of love;
May He keep them from all pain and suffering,
In this world filled with thorns and with strife.
Now this home that is newly created,
With the union of these hearts together;
May they always enjoy many blessings,
And be shielded by Israel's God.
2
As these two are approaching the altar,
They have come to swear their faith together;
May they always be searching the fountain,
The Lord's secret of immortal life.
If perhaps there is pain and there's sadness,
Which one day may be found as they walk;
Only Jesus will give them sweet guidance,
And will show them the best way of peace.
3
May the Lord with His sweet loving presence,
Come to give His blessing to this wedding;
And through His path of life may He guide them,
These two swear loyalty on this day.
He'll remind them that nothing in this world,
Is eternal all things have an ending;
In the meantime with His divine grace,
They will base all their joy in their God.
