A wedding prayer
Language: English
O gracious Father, with Thy heav’nly blessing Guard these Thy children lowly kneeling here. Oh, let them know no hour of doubt or sorrow; Encompass them with love, which casts out fear. Protect them, Lord; and in Thy mercy give To each some share of earthly joy and peace. Bring them at last to that blest home in heaven Where joys abound and love shall never cease.
