Language: English
1. Entry of the Bride [tacet] 2. At the Wedding March God with honour hang your head, Groom, and grace you, bride, your bed With lissome scions, sweet scions, Out of hallowed bodies bred. Each be other's comfort kind: Deep, deeper than devined. Divine charity, dear charity, Fast you ever, fast bind. Then let the March tread our ears; I to him turn with tears Who to wedlock, his wonder wedlock, Deals triumph, triumph and immortal years. 3. March of the Newlyweds [tacet]
