Author: Brian A. Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals 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.
Praise, praise the love that gives us life,
through joy or sadness, calm or strife.
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: Joy; Laughter / Mirth; Love; Sacraments and Ordinances Marriage; Wine Scripture: Genesis 1:26-27 Used With Tune: SUSSEX CAROL
