As Man and Woman We Were Made
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #642 (1989) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Marriage; The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Marriage First Line: As man or woman we were made 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!

When Love Is Found
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #643 (1989) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Marriage; The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Marriage First Line: When love is found and hope comes home Lyrics:
1 When love is found
and hope comes home,
sing and be glad
that two are one.
When love explodes
and fills the sky,
praise God, and share
our Maker's joy.
2 When love has flowered
in trust and care,
build both each day,
that love may dare
to reach beyond
home's warmth and light,
to serve and strive
for truth and right.
3 When love is tried
as loved ones change,
hold still to hope
though all seems strange,
till ease returns
and love grows wise
through listening ears
and opened eyes.
4 When love is torn
and trust betrayed,
pray strength to love
till torments fade,
till lovers keep
no score of wrong,
but hear through pain
love's Easter song.
5 Praise God for love,
praise God for life,
in age or youth,
in husband, wife.
Lift up your hearts,
let love be fed
through death and life
in broken bread. Languages: English Tune Title: GIFT OF LOVE
When Love Is Found

holy wisdom, love most bright;
drawn by thee, our souls aspiring
soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned,
with the fire of life impassioned,
striving still to truth unknown,
soaring, dying round thy throne.
2 Through the way where hope is guiding,
hark, what peaceful music rings;
where the flock, in thee confiding,
drink of joy from deathless springs.
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
Thou dost ever lead thine own
in the love of joys unknown.

and to life's day the glorious unknown morrow
that dawns upon eternal love and life.

with the abundance of thy grace;
keep far our foes; give peace at home;
where thou art guide, no ill can come.

and thee, of both, to be but One;
that through the ages all along
this, this may be our endless song:
Refrain after last stanza:
Praise to thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Amen.

O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go
Author: George Matheson Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #480 (1989) Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Topics: The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Funeral and Memorial Service Lyrics: 1. O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths
its flow may richer, fuller be.
2. O Light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine's blaze
its day may brighter, fairer be.
3. O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow thru the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.
4. O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms
red life that shall endless be.
