Father, within thy house today,
We wait thy kindly love to see;
Since thou hast said in truth one day
Who shall in love are one with thee;
Bless those who for thy blessings wait,
Their love accept and consecrate.

Dear Lord of love, whose heart of fire
So full of pity for our sin,
Was once in that divine desire
Broken, thy Bride to woo and Win,
Look down and bless them from above,
And keep thy hearts alight with love.

Blest Spirit, who with life and light
Didst quicken chaos to thy praise,
Whose energy, in sin's despite,
Still lifts our nature up to grace,
Bless those who here in troth consent
Creator, crown thy sacrament.

Great One in Three, of whom are named
All families in earth and heav'n,
Hear us, who have thy promise claimed,
And let a wealth of grace be giv’n,
Grant them in life and death to be
Each knit to each, and both to thee.
