As man and woman we are made

Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #596 (1997) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Sacraments and Ordinances Marriage Lyrics: 1 As man and woman we were made that love be found and life begun: the likeness of the living God, unique, yet called to live as one. Praise, praise the love that gives us life, through joy or sadness, calm or strife. 2 Now Jesus lived and gave his love to make our life and loving new; so celebrate with him today and drink the joy he offers you, that makes the simple moment shine and changes water into wine. 3 And Jesus died to live again, so praise the love that, come what may, can bring the dawn and clear the skies, and waits to wipe all tears away, and let us hope for what shall be, believing where we cannot see. 4 Then spread the table, clear the hall and celebrate till day is done; let peace go deep between us all and joy be shared by everyone; laugh and make merry with your friends, and praise the love that never ends!

When love is found

Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #600 (1997) Topics: Sacraments and Ordinances Marriage First Line: When love is found and hope comes home Lyrics: 1 When love is found and hope comes home, sing and be glad that two are one. When love explodes and fills the sky, praise God and share our Maker’s joy. 2 When love has flowered in trust and care, build both each day, that love may dare to reach beyond home’s warmth and light, to serve and strive for truth and right. 3 When love is tried as loved-ones change, hold still to hope though all seems strange, till ease returns and love grows wise through listening ears and opened eyes. 4 When love is torn and trust betrayed, pray strength to love till torments fade, till lovers keep no score of wrong, but hear through pain love’s Easter song. 5 Praise God for love; praise God for life, in age or youth, in calm or strife. Lift up your hearts! Let love be fed through death and life in broken bread. Scripture: Genesis 2:34 Languages: English Tune Title: O WALY WALY
