Trinity Psalter Hymnal ‎#549

549. O Gracious Lord

1 O gracious Lord, in glorious heav'nly dwelling,
we humbly come in prayer before your throne,
that theirs may be the love that knows no ending
as they, by sacred vows, are joined as one.

2 Christ Jesus, grant to them the full assurance
of steadfast faith and patient hope in you,
that they may love each other with endurance;
grant child-like trust in you each day anew.

3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow;
grant them the peace which calms all earthy strife;
grant them the vision of the new tomorrow
that will reveal eternal love and life.
