This
hymn is suitable as the second hymn sung after the marriage ceremony,
which is about praise and celebration of the union. It is also
suitable as the third hymn that is sung after the signing of
the register, which usually speaks of the desire that God goes
with you into the future to help you live out your vows.

Father,
hear the prayer we offer:
Not for ease that prayer shall be,
But for strength that we may ever
Live our lives courageously.
Not
for ever in green pastures
Do we ask our way to be;
But the steep and rugged pathway
May we tread rejoicingly.
Not
for ever by still waters
Would we idly rest and stay;
But would smith the living fountains
From the rocks along our way.
Be
our strength in hours of weakness,
In our wanderings be our guide;
Through endeavour, failure, danger,
Father, be thou at our side.
