Lord, Who at Cana's Wedding-Feast

Author: Godfrey Thring; Adelaide Thrupp Hymnal: LH1941 #620 (1941) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Lord, who at Cana’s wedding-feast Didst as a Guest appear, Thou dearer far than earthly guest, Vouchsafe Thy presence here. For holy Thou indeed dost prove The marriage-vow to be, Proclaiming it a type of love Between the Church and Thee. 2 This holy vow that man can make, The golden thread in life, The bond that none may dare to break, That bindeth man and wife, Which, blest by Thee, whate’er betides, No evil shall destroy, Thro' care-worn days each care divides, And doubles ev'ry joy. 3 On those who now before Thee kneel, O Lord, Thy blessing pour, That each may wake the other’s zeal To love Thee more and more. Oh, grant them here in peace to live, In purity and love, And, this world leaving, to receive A crown of life above. Amen.

O Father, All Creating

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: LH1941 #621 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: O Father all creating Lyrics: 1 O Father, all creating, Whose wisdom, love, and pow'r First bound two lives together In Eden’s primal hour, Today to these Thy children Thine earliest gifts renew,-- A home by Thee made happy, A love by Thee kept true. 2 O Savior, Guest most bounteous Of old in Galilee, Vouchsafe today Thy presence With these who call on Thee. Their store of earthly gladness Transform to heav'nly wine And teach them, in the tasting, To know the gift is Thine. 3 O Spirit of the Father, Breathe on them from above, So mighty in Thy pureness, So tender in Thy love, That, guarded by Thy presence, From sin and strife kept free, Their lives may own Thy guidance, Their hearts be ruled by Thee. 4 Except Thou build it, Father, The house is built in vain; Except Thou, Savior, bless it, The joy will turn to pain. But naught can break the union Of hearts in Thee made one, And love Thy Spirit hallows Is endless love begun. Amen.

The Voice that Breathed o'er Eden

Author: John Keble Hymnal: LH1941 #622 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 The voice that breathed o’er Eden, That earliest wedding day, The primal wedding blessing,-- It hath not passed away. Still in the pure espousal of Christian man and maid The Triune God is with us, The threefold grace is said. 2 Be present, loving Father, To give away this bride As Thou gav’st Eve to Adam, A helpmate at his side. Be present, Son of Mary, To join their loving hands As Thou didst bind two natures In Thine eternal bands. 3 Be present, Holy Spirit, To bless them as they kneel, As Thou for Christ, the Bridegroom, The heav’nly Spouse dost seal. Oh, spread Thy pure wing o’er them, Let no ill pow'r find place When onward to Thine altar Their hallowed path they trace. 4 To cast their crowns before Thee In humble sacrifice, Till to the home of gladness With Christ’s own Bride they rise. To Father, Son, and Spirit, Eternal One and Three, And was and is forever, All praise and glory be. Amen.

There many a happy day is spent, There Jesus gladly will consent To tarry with His blessing. 2 If they have given Him their heart, The place of honor set apart For Him each night and morrow, Then He the storms of life will calm, Will bring for ev'ry wound a balm, And change to joy their sorrow. 3 And if their home be dark and drear, The cruse be empty, hunger near, All hope within them dying, Let them despair not in distress; Lo, Christ is there the bread to bless, The fragments multiplying. 4 O Lord, we come before Thy face; In ev'ry home bestow Thy grace On children, father, mother. Relieve their wants, their burdens ease, Let them together dwell in peace And love to one another. Amen.

O happy home, where each one serves Thee, lowly, Whatever his appointed work may be, Till ev'ry common task seems great and holy When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee! 4 O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten When joy is overflowing, full, and free!

Thus direct them, thus defend them, Lest they fall an easy prey. 3 Cleanse their hearts from sinful folly In the stream Thy love supplied, Mingled stream of blood and water Flowing from Thy wounded side; And to heav'nly pastures lead them, Where Thine own still waters glide. 4 Let Thy holy Word instruct them; Fill their minds with heavenly light; Let Thy powerful grace constrain them To approve whate'er is right; Let them feel Thy yoke is easy, Let them prove Thy burden light. 5 Taught to lisp Thy holy praises Which on earth Thy children sing, Both with lips and hearts, unfeignèd, Glad thank-offerings may they bring; Then with all the saints in glory Join to praise their Lord and King. Amen. Join to praise our Lord and King. Topics: The Christian Home Christian Education Scripture: Mark 10:14 Languages: English Tune Title: SIEH, HIER BIN ICH
