- 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!
