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.
The grace of life is theirs
Who on this wedding day
Delight to make their vows
And for each other pray.
May they, O Lord, together prove
The lasting joy of Christian love.
Where love is, God abides:
And God shall surely bless
A home where trust and care
Give birth to happiness.
May they, O lord, together prove
The lasting joy of such a love.
How slow to take offence
Love is! How quick to heal!
How ready in distress
To know how others feel!
May they, O Lord, together prove
The lasting joy of such a love.
And when time lays its hand
On all we hold most dear,
And life, by life consumed,
Fulfils its purpose here:
May we, O Lord, together prove
The lasting joy of Christian love.
