The voice that breath'd o'er Eden

Author: J. Keble Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #251 (1920) Hymnal Title: The Church Hymnal Lyrics: 1 The voice that breath'd over Eden, That earliest wedding day, The primal marriage blessing, It hath not pass'd away. 2 Still in the pure espousal Of Christian man and maid, The holy Three are with us, The threefold grace is said. 3 Be present, awful Father, To give away this bride, As Eve thou gav'st to Adam Out of His own pierced side: 4 Be present, Son of Mary, To join their loving hands, As Thou didst bind two natures In Thine eternal bands! 5 Be present, holiest Spirit, To bless them as they kneel, As Thou, for Christ the Bridegroom, The heavenly Spouse dost seal! 6 O spread Thy pure wing o'er them, Let no ill power find place, When onward to Thine altar Their hallowed path they trace, 7 To cast their crowns before Thee In perfect sacrifice, Till to the home of gladness With Christ's own Bride they rise.
