a342. To Thee, our fathers' God, we bow!

1 To Thee, our fathers' God, we bow!
Seal Thou in heaven the marriage vow,
Made in Thy name and holy fear,
That in Thy grace it prove sincere.

2 Attend Thou, Lord, their steps through life
Whom Thou in love mad'st man and wife;
Be Thou their honored Guest and Guide,
That they be blest, whate'er betide.

3 And Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove!
Keep Thou their hearts in Christian love;
Attune their souls to worship Thee,
And Thy sweet peace their comfort be.

4 O Triune God, to Thee we bow!
Seal Thou in heaven the marriage vow;
Thy grace sustain Thy servants here,
And may they praise Thee ever there.
