Heavenly Father, Hear Our Prayer
NAME OF JESUS 7.6.7.6.8.8.7.7.
MARRIAGE
Heav'nly Father, hear our prayer
As we bow before You:
Bless them in the life they share,
Humbly we implore You.
Be their guide in all endeavors,
Be their hope that nothing severs;
Constant source of love divine,
Let Your love within them shine!
As they pledge their love this day
Here before Your altar,
May their hearts, upon You stayed,
Never fail or falter.
Be their comfort in all sorrow;
Be their reason for tomorrow.
Grant them strength to live each hour
Trusting solely in Your pow'r.
Blest Creator, Lord of life,
Hear our glad thanksgiving.
Husband you have joined to wife
For their earthly living.
Justified by Jesus' merit.
Life eternal they inherit.
When their days on earth have passed,
Take them to Your home at last!
