Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #700 (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Scripture: John 2:1-11 Lyrics: 1 As man and woman we were made,
that love be found and life begun;
the likeness of the living God,
unique, yet called to live as one.
Through joy or sadness, calm or strife,
come praise the love that gives us life.
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! Topics: The Church Celebrates Family, Friendship, and Marriage Languages: English Tune Title: SUSSEX CAROL
