Come to a wedding, come to a blessing

Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #344 (2013) Meter: 5.5.5.4 D Topics: Family and Friends Lyrics: 1 Come to a wedding, come to a blessing, come on a day when happiness sings! Come rain or sun, come winter or summer, celebrate love and all that it brings. 2 Thanks for the love that holds us together — parent and child, and lover and friend: thanks to the God whose love is our centre, source of compassion, knowing no end. 3 Love is the gift, and love is the giver, love is the gold that makes the day shine, love forgets self to care for the other, love changes life from water to wine. 4 Come to this wedding, asking a blessing for all the years that living will prove: health of the body, health of the spirit — now to you both, we offer our love. Scripture: Song of Solomon 8:6-7 Languages: English Tune Title: BUNESSAN

O hear me, Lord! on thee I call

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #449 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances On the Death of Relatives and Friends Lyrics: 1 O hear me, Lord! on thee I call, And prostrate at thy footstool fall; Propitious in my cause appear, And bow to my request thine ear. 2 Look down, my only hope! look down; Behold me, but without a frown: And ne'er to my desiring eye Thy presence, heav'nly Lord! deny, 3 O let me, on thy aid reclin'd, Thee still my great salvation find; Nor leave me, helpless and forlorn, The absence of thy grace to mourn. 4 Though, doom'd the orphan's lot to bear, No father's kind concern I share, Nor o'er me wakes a mother's eye My wants attentive to supply:— 5 Adopted by thy care, in thee The Parent and the Friend I see; And, nourish'd by thy fost'ring hand, Within thy courts secure I stand.

To this house and all herein, Now let thy salvation come! Save our souls from inbred sin! Make us thine eternal home! 3 Let us never, never rest Till the praise is fulfill'd: Till we are of thee possess'd, Pardon'd, sanctified, and seal'd; Till we all, in love renew'd, Find the pearl that Adam lost, Temples of the living God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
