Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Ephesians 5:22-33 First Line: Where love is, God abides Lyrics: 1 Where love is, God abides: and God shall surely bless
a home where trust and care give birth to happiness.
May we, O Lord, together prove
the lasting joy of such a love.
2 How slow to take offense love is! How quick to heal!
How ready in distress to know how others feel!
May we, O Lord, together prove
the lasting joy of such a love.
3 And when time lays its hand on all we hold most dear,
and life, by life consumed, fulfills its purpose here:
May we, O Lord, together prove
the lasting joy of Christian love.
(Optional)
The grace of life is theirs who on this wedding day
delight to make their vows and for each other pray.
May they, O Lord, together prove
the lasting joy of Christian love. Topics: Family and Relationships; Home; Occasional Services Marriage Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN
