The verses are based on texts used during the wedding service: one of the prayers, the blessing of the marriage, and the preface.
Alexander Crawford
Tune: Love Unknown (NEH 86), as requested by the bridegroom
For Daniel Ackerley and Claudia Kirby, on their wedding day
O God, the fount of love,
The source of life and grace:
Pour down from heav’n above
Your blessings on this place.
Fill us with life and love, we pray,
Give us your joy, this happy day.
Bless this new life we start,
And all our time ahead;
Love’s seal upon our hearts,
Love’s crown upon our heads.
In days of joy, and sorrow too,
Lord, walk with us the journey through.
So may this union show
Our faith and hope in you,
That all may come to know
Your wondrous love anew;
The love that brought the worlds to birth,
The love that flows through all the earth.
