Ode to Joy -- Wedding Text

God of love, O God of goodness,
Bless this couple on this day.
As you showed concern at Cana,
Help and guide them in your way.
Bless this holy, sacred union;
May their love be ever new.
May they see their children's children;
May they come to be with you.

May the grace of Christ our Savior,
And the Father's boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit's favor,
Rest upon them from above.
Thus may they abide in union
Praising Christ, their Lord, thereby,
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot supply.
