Representative Text

1 Herr, vor dein Antlitz treten zwei,
um künftig eins zu sein
und so einander Lieb und Treu
bis in den Tod zu weihn.

2 Sprich selbst das Amen auf den Bund,
der sie vor dir vereint;
hilf, daß ihr Ja von Herzensgrund
für immer sei gemeint.

3 Zusammen füge Herz und Herz,
daß nichts hinfort sie trennt;
erhalt sie eins in Freud und Schmerz
bis an ihr Lebensend.
