1 The grace of life is theirs
Who on this wedding day
Delight to make their vows
And for each other pray.
May they, O Lord, together prove
The lasting joy of Christian love,
The lasting joy of Christian love.

2 Where love is, God abides:
And God shall surely bless
A home where trust and care
Give birth to happiness.
May they, O lord, together prove
The lasting joy of such a love,
The lasting joy of such a love.

3 And when time lays its hand
On all we hold most dear,
And life, by life consumed,
Fulfills its purpose here,
May we, O Lord, together prove
The lasting joy of Christian love,
The lasting joy of Christian love.
