The voice that breath o’ver Eden
1. The voice
that breath o’ver Eden
That earliest wedding day,
The primal marriage blessing,
It hath not passed away
2. Still in the
pure espousal
Of Christian man and maid
The holy three are with us
The three fold grace is said.
3. For dower of
blessed children
For loved faith’s sweet sake
For high mysterious union
Which nought on earth may break.
4. Be present heavenly father,
To give
away his bride
As Eve thou
gav’st to Adam
Out of his
own pieced side.
5. Be present,
Gracious saviour,
To join
their loving Hands
As thou
dist bind two natures
In Thine
eternal bands.
6. Be present, Holy spirit,
To bless
them as they kneel,
As thou for
Christ the bridegroom
The
heavenly spouse dost seal.
7. O spread thy
pure wings o’ver them!
Let no ill
power find place,
When onward
through life’s journey
The
hallowed path they trace.
8. To cast their crown before thee,
In perfect
sacrifice,
Till to the
home of gladness
With
Christ’s own bride they rise.
