Representative Text

1 O God of love, to you we bow,
and pray for these before you now,
That closely knit in holy vow
they may in you become as one.

2 Whatever comes to be their share
of quickening joy or burdening care,
In power to do and grace to bear,
may they in you remain as one.

3 Eternal love, with them abide;
through change and chance, O be their guide,
Let nothing in this life divide
those whom you now have joined as one.
