Lyrics
Verse 1
O Father, all creating, Whose wisdom, love, and pow'r
First bound two lives together in Eden's primal hour,
Today to these Thy children Thy earliest gifts renew,
A home by Thee made happy, a love by Thee kept true.
Verse 2
O Savior, Guest most bounteous Of old in Galilee,
Vouchsafe today Thy presence With these who call on Thee;
Their store of earthly gladness Transform to heav'nly wine,
And teach them, in the tasting To know the gift is Thine.
Verse 3
O Spirit of the Father, breathe on them from above,
So mighty in Thy pureness, so tender in Thy love;
That, guarded by Thy presence, from sin and strife kept free,
Their lives may own Thy guidance, their hearts be rul'd by Thee.
Verse 4
Except Thou build it, Father, the house is built in vain;
Except Thou, Savior, bless it, the joy will turn to pain;
But naught can break the union of hearts in Thee made one,
And love Thy Spirit hallow'd is endless love begun....
