Lord Jesus, let Thy favour rest

Lord Jesus, let Thy favour rest Upon this bond of love; May it be bound in heaven, and blest With blessing from above.

Thy ways, Thou heavenly Bridegroom, be The pattern for this pair; Their constant springs be found in Thee, Their life Thy love declare.

As fellow-heirs of life in Thee, May they together dwell; Their mutual faith and love still be A sweet refreshing well.

And when the day of light shall shine, Their work approvèd be; Thou then with joy wilt own as Thine, Whate'er was done to Thee.
