you revealed your power divine,

Jesus, Come! For We Invite You
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: John 2:1-11 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, come! for we invite you,
guest and master, friend and Lord;
now, as once at Cana's wedding,
speak, and let us hear your word:
lead us through our need or doubting,
hope be born and joy restored.
2 Jesus, come! transform our pleasures,
guide us into paths unknown;
bring your gifts, command your servants,
let us trust in you alone:
though your hand may work in secret,
all shall see what you have done.
3 Jesus, come in new creation,
heav'n brought near in pow'r divine;
give your unexpected glory,
changing water into wine:
rouse the faith of your disciples--
come, our first and greatest Sign!
4 Jesus, come! surprise our dullness,
make us willing to receive
more than we can yet imagine,
all the best you have to give:
let us find your hidden riches,
taste your love, believe and live! Topics: Marriage; Christian Hope; Epiphany Used With Tune: UNION SEMINARY

As Man and Woman We Were Made
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: John 2:1-11 Lyrics: 1 As man and woman we were made
That love be found and life begun,
So praise the Lord Who made us two,
And praise the Lord when two are one;
Praise for the love that comes to life
Through child or parent, husband, wife.
2 Now Jesus lived and gave His love
To make our life and loving new;
So celebrate with Him today
And drink the joy He offers you;
That makes the simple moment shine
And changes water into wine.
3 And Jesus died to live again,
So praise the love that, come what may,
Can bring the dawn and clear the skies,
And waits to wipe all tears away;
And let us hope for what shall be,
Believing where we cannot see.
4 Then spread the table, clear the hall,
And celebrate till day is done;
Let peace go deep between us all
And joy be shared by everyone;
Laugh and make merry with your friends,
And praise the love that never ends.

A Wedding Hymn
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 158 hymnals Scripture: John 2:10 First Line: Since Jesus freely did appear Lyrics: 1 Since Jesus freely did appear
To grace a marriage feast;
O Lord, we ask thy presence here,
To make a wedding guest.
2 Upon the bridal pair look down,
Who now have plighted hands,
Their union with thy favour crown,
And bless their nuptial bands.
3 With gifts of grace their hearts endow,
Of all rich dowries best!
Their substance bless, and peace bestow,
To sweeten all the rest.
4 In purest love their souls unite,
That they with christian care,
May make domestic burdens light,
By taking mutual share.
5 True helpers may thy prove indeed,
In prayer, and faith, and hope;
And see with joy a godly seed
To build their household up.
6 As Isaac and Rebecca give
A pattern chaste and kind;
So may this married couple live,
And die in friendship join'd.
7 On ev'ry soul assembled here,
O make thy face to shine;
Thy goodness more our hearts can cheer,
Than richest food or wine. Topics: Miscellaneous Hymns for Sundry Occasions Text Sources: Rippon's Collection
A Wedding Hymn
Sing of God Made Manifest
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., 1944- Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: John 2:1-11 Lyrics: 1 Sing of God made manifest
in a child robust and blest,
to whose home in Bethlehem
where a star had guided them,
Magi came and gifts unbound,
signs mysterious and profound:
myrrh and frankincense and gold
grave and God and King foretold.
2 Sing of God made manifest
when at Jordan John confessed,
"I should be baptized by you,
but your bidding I will do."
Then from heaven a double sign--
dove-like Spirit, voice divine--
hailed the true Anointed One:
"This is my beloved Son."
3 Sing of God made manifest
when Christ came as wedding guest
and at Cana gave a sign,
turning water into wine;
further still was love revealed
as he taught, forgave, and healed,
bringing light and life to all
who would listen to God's call.
4 Sing of God made manifest
on the cloud capped mountain's crest,
where the law and prophets waned
so that Christ alone remained:
glimpse of glory, pledge of grace,
given as Jesus set his face
towards the waiting cross and grave,
sign of hope that God would save. Used With Tune: SALZBURG

Christ the head and cornerstone;
Chosen of the Lord and precious,
Binding all the church in one;
Holy Zion’s help forever,
And her confidence alone.
2 To this temple, where we call you,
Come, O Lord of hosts, today;
With your wonted lovingkindness
Hear your servants as they pray.
And your fullest benediction
Shed in all its bright array.
3 Grant, we pray, to all your people,
All the grace they ask to gain;
What they gain from you forever
With the blessèd to retain,
And hereafter in your glory
Evermore with you to reign.
