“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.”
Psalm 127:1 (C.M. Metzler’s Redhead)
We worship Thee, the King of grace,
With heart and soul and voice;
O grant that mercy’s smiling face
May cause us to rejoice!
Along life’s path we have been led
By Thee, our Lord and Friend;
And we have tasted of the Bread
Of Life, which Thou dost send.
We come to Thee for blessing now
Upon this wedding-day;
We ask Thee, Lord, Thy grace bestow
And may Thy presence stay.
We come our promises to make,
Present our vows to Thee;
Our humble prayer, O gently take,
That we may faithful be.
Upon our hearts, O grant Thy peace,
Thy guidance in our lives;
That we may walk the way of grace,
And be in all things wise.
Upon our home Thy blessing give,
A haven from the storm,
A place of comfort, where we live
In harmony and calm.
We look to Thee, our sovereign God.
For unction and for grace;
And when our journey we have trod,
We’ll see Thy blessèd face.
