Father, eternal, we pray for your blessing,
Kneeling before you, creator of love,
Need for your strength, for your guidance confessing,
Grant that our union be bless'd from above.

Bind us together in constant affection,
Lead us and guard and keep us from strife
Stretch forth your hand to provide our direction,
Show us together the pathway of life.

O loving Father through life you will guide us,
While all our joys and our sorrows we share,
Wisdom, devotion and patience provide us,
Keep our love strong in your sheltering care.
