VERSE 1
O Father, all-creating,
Whose wisdom and Whose power
First bound two lives together
In Eden's primal hour;
Today to these Thy children
Thine earliest gift renew;
A home by Thee made blessed,
A love by Thee kept true.
VERSE 2
O Saviour, Guest most bounteous
Of old in Galilee,
Vouchsafe to-day Thy presence,
With these who wait on Thee;
Their store of earthly gladness
Transform to heavenly wine,
And teach them, in the tasting,
To know the gift is Thine.
VERSE 3
O Spirit of the Father,
Breathe on them from above
So searching in Thy pureness,
So tender in Thy love;
That guarded by Thy presence,
From sin and strife kept free,
Their lives may own Thy guidance
Their hearts be ruled by Thee.
VERSE 4
Except Thou build it, Father,
The house is built in vain;
Except Thou, Lord, sustain it,
The joy will turn to pain:
But nought can break the union
Of hearts in Thee made one,
And love which Thou hast hallowed,
Is endless love begun.
