76. Great God, who form'd for social joys

Great God, who form'd for social joys
Our natures by thy pow'r and grace,
And join'd in blest connubial ties
The parents of our favor'd race.

Our Saviour, our ascended Lord,
In Cana once a heav'nly guest,
Whose bounty cheer'd the friendly board,
Whose presence grac'd the nuptial feast.
