Crown with Thy benediction

Author: J. B. Greenwood, b. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #535 (1913) Topics: Various Occasions Marriage and the Home; Various Occassions Marriage and the Home Lyrics: 1 Crown with Thy benediction This covenant of love; And make this hallowed union Foretaste of heaven above: Let pure and perfect gladness, Let pure and perfect rest, And peace that know no sadness, Thy presence, Lord, attest. 2 As once in Eden's springtime, As once at Cana's feast, So consecrate this bridal-- Be thou its guest and priest! With sunshine wreathe the altar, Chase every cloud away, Nor let their voices falter Who plight their troth today. 3 God bless the bride and bridegroom, And fill with joy their life; Keep them, through all its changes, True husband, faithful wife! If Thou wilt smile upon them, They shall not need the sun; This thought their hearts rejoicing-- Henceforth, not twain but one. 4 With Thy great love befriend them, The love that casts out fear; And make a rainbow round them For every falling tear: Till, all their sheaves well-garnered, Heaven's harvest home they raise, Where love, that knows no ending, Inspires more perfect praise. Tune Title: [Crown with Thy benediction]
