Author: Dorothy Frances Gurney, 1858-1932; Michael Perry Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #427 (1995) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: O perfect Love, all human thought transcending Lyrics: 1 O perfect Love, all human thought transcending,
lowly we kneel in prayer before your throne,
that theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
whom you forevermore unite in one.
2 O perfect Life, be now their full assurance
of tender charity and steadfast faith,
of patient hope and quiet, brave endurance,
with childlike trust that fears nor pain or death.
3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow;
grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
and to life's day the glorious unknown morrow
that dawns upon eternal love and life.
4 Lord Jesus Christ, invited guest and Savior,
with tender mercy hear us as we pray;
grant our desire for those who seek your favor,
come with your love and bless them both today. Topics: Marriage; Blessing; Marriage and anniversary Scripture: Matthew 19:4-6 Languages: English Tune Title: O PERFECT LOVE
