Thou dear er far than earth ly guest, Vouch safe Thy pre sence here.
The bond that none may dare to break, That bind eth man and wife,
That each may wake the o ther’s zeal To love Thee more and more.
For ho ly Thou in deed dost prove The mar riage vow to be,
Which, blest by Thee, what e’er be tide, No e vil shall des troy,
Oh, grant them here in peace to live, In pur i ty and love,
Pro claim ing it a type of love Be tween the Church and Thee.
Through care worn days each care div ides And dou bles ev ery joy.
And, this world leav ing, to re ceive A crown of life a bove.
