To Thee, Our Fathers’ God, We Bow

lyricist: Emanuel Cronenwett, 1880
Composer: German, 1539

To Thee

our fa­thers’ God

we bow!

Seal Thou in Heav’n the mar­riage vow

Made in Thy name and ho­ly fear

That in Thy grace it prove sin­cere.

Attend

Thou

Lord

their steps through life

Whom Thou in love mad’st man and wife;

Be Thou their hon­ored guest and guide

That they be blest

whate’er be­tide.

And Ho­ly Spir­it

heav’nly Dove!

Keep Thou their hearts in Christ­ian love;

Attune their souls to wor­ship Thee

And Thy sweet peace their com­fort be.

O Tri­une God

to Thee we bow!

Seal Thou in Heav’n the mar­ri­age vow;

Thy grace sus­tain Thy serv­ants here

And may they praise Thee ev­er there.
