We Join to Pray, with Wishes Kind

We join to pray

with wish­es kind

A bless­ing

Lord

from Thee

On those who now the bands have twined

Which ne’er may brok­en be.

We know that scenes

not al­ways bright

May un­to them be given;

But let there shine o’er all the light

Of love

and truth

and Heav­en.

Still hand in hand

their jour­ney through

Meek pil­grims may they go

Mingling their joys as help­meets true

And shar­ing ev­ery woe.

The Sav­ior

whom they trust

the same;

The same their home above;

May each in each still feed the flame

Of pure and ho­ly love.

And when the so­lemn hour shall come

Which sev­ers earth­ly ties

May hope rise bright­en­ing through the gloom

And point to fair­er skies.
