Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God who gave humanity its name,
in whom we live and move, from whom we came,
be with these two who now before you wait;
enlarge the love they come to consecrate.
2 May through their union other lives be blessed;
their door be wide to stranger and to guest,
give them the understanding that is kind,
grant them the blessing of an open mind.
3 From stage to stage on life's unfolding way
bring to their mind the vows they make this day;
your Spirit be their guide in every move,
their faith in Christ the touchstone of their love.
4 God bless us all to whom this day brings joy,
let no events our unity destroy,
and help us, till all sense of time is lost,
to live in love and not to count the cost. Topics: God's Church Marriage and Family; God's Church Marriage and Family; Love: For Others; Marriage Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA
