RCCG HYMN 719

The Voice that Breathed O'er Eden

"Heirs together of the grace of life." - 1 Pet 3:7

HOLY MATRIMONY• 8 VERSES

VERSE 1

The voice that breathed o'er Eden,
That earliest wedding day,
The primal marriage blessing,
It hath not passed away.

Still in the pure espousal
Of Christian man and maid
The Holy Three are with us,
The threefold grace is said.

For dower of blessed children,
For love and faith's sweet sake,
For high mysterious union
Which nought on earth may break.

Be present, heavenly Father,
To give away this bride,
As Eve Thou gav'st to Adam
Out of his own pierced side.

Be present, gracious Saviour,
To join their loving hands,
As Thou didst bind two natures
In Thine eternal bands.

Be present, Holy Spirit
To bless them as they kneel
As Thou for Christ the Bridegroom
The heavenly spouse dost seal.

O spread Thy pure wings o'er them!
Let no ill power find place,
When onward throught life's journey
The hallowed path they trace.

To cast their crowns before Thee,
In perfect sacrifice,
Till to the home of gladness
With Christ's own bride they rise.
