Gracious Lord we ask your blessing |

Gracious Lord we ask your blessing On these two who stand today At the longed-for glad beginning Of a new untrodden way. We, who love them, bless and thank you For the memories we hold dear, For your love which planned their union, For your grace which brought them here.
May their hopes, and dreams, and longings Be transformed their life-time through Into memories they will treasure, Bound with love, undimmed and true; We would wish them all the gladness That this life can hold in store; Faith, and hope and joyful service We would ask for them and more.
May they have the benediction Of your presence as they go, Comforting, sustaining, giving Quickened hearts that burn and glow; And may outpoured, deep devotion Fill their lives with fragrance rare, Telling needy hearts around them Of a love which all can share.
To your grace, then, we commend them, To your mighty, sheltering hand, Through life's joys and through the sorrows That your wisdom may have planned; Till we hear your shout of rapture Till we meet you in the air, Bless and use them, Lord, we pray you, Keep them in your love and care.
