(On their Wedding Day)
It is done, the words are spoken, / Words that bind you heart to heart; / Whom the Lord hath joined together / Neither life nor death can part.
Hope and friendship, joy and sunshine / Hail you both on every side, / They are singing happy greeting / To the bridegroom and the bride.
One in spirit, mind and purpose, / You have loved each other long, / You have gathered souls for Jesus / By your counsel and your song.
Unto Him we now commend you, / Unto Him whose name is Love; / May the glory of His presence / Rest upon you from above.
Father, Savior, Holy Spirit / Bless these wedded souls we pray; / Make their future bright and cloudless / As a rosy, summer day.
And when evening shadows gather, / When their harvest work is done, / May they both go home rejoicing / At the setting of the sun.
