Author: James Seddon, 1915-1983 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Jesus the Lord of love and life Lyrics: 1 Jesus the Lord of love and life,
draw near to bless this husband, wife;
as they are now in love made one,
let your good will for them be done.
2 Give them each day your peace and joy,
let no dark clouds these gifts destroy;
in growing trust may love endure,
to keep their marriage bond secure.
3 As they have vowed to have and hold,
each by the other be consoled;
in wealth or want, in health or pain,
till death shall part, let love remain.
4 Deepen, O Lord, their love for you,
and in that love, their own renew;
each in the other find delight,
as lives and interests now unite.
5 Be to them both a guide and friend,
through all the years their home defend;
Jesus the Lord of love and life,
stay near and bless this husband, wife. Topics: Love; Sacraments and Ordinances Marriage Scripture: Genesis 2:24 Used With Tune: WINSCOTT
