Beloved (Wedding Song)

Representative Text

As Jesus loved the church, so I shall love thee,
Beloved, I promise thee my love, whate'er betide.
I promise to be near, to guide, to keep thee,
And in return I ask thy heart, my bride.

And as the church loves Jesus, I shall love thee,
Beloved.
My heart, my all shall be forever thine.

The mystery is great but we shall e'er be one.
Beloved take my hand,
Beloved, thou art mine.
