The Voice that Breathed o'er Eden
Author: John Keble Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #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. Topics: The Christian Home Marriage Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:12 Languages: English Tune Title: EDEN

The Voice That Breathed o'er Eden
Author: John Keble Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7082 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 Holy Three are with us,
the threefold grace is said.
2. Be present, awful 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.
O spread Thy pure wing o’er them,
let no ill power find place
When onward to Thine altar
their hallowed path they trace.
4. To cast their crowns before Thee
in perfect 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.

The Voice That Breathed o'er Eden
O Father, All Creating
Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #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.
