Lord Jesus, Who Didst Once Appear

Lord Je­sus

who didst once ap­pear

To grace a mar­riage feast;

We now be­seech Thy pre­sence here

To make this wed­ding blest.

With grace the bride and bride­groom speed;

Thy love their pat­tern be;

May heart with heart be true in­deed

As knit

O Lord

in Thee.

In pure­st love their souls unite

That they with Christ-like care

May make each oth­er’s bur­den light

By tak­ing mu­tu­al share.

And look­ing to their heav’n­ly home

Oh

may they dwell each day

As heirs of life till Thou shalt come

To take Thy bride away.
