O God of all new visions

Of hope and tenderness,

The source and inspiration

Of love and friendliness,

Enable these two people

Each other to affirm

And find within their marriage

The love for which they yearn.

 

O Spirit of true union

Who makes two hearts as one

Without destroying freedom,

Creativeness or fun;

Increase our sense of wonder

That we may keep alive

The sharing and acceptance

By which our love will thrive.

 

Unless there is commitment

A wedding is in vain;

Unless there is true caring

Romance will turn to pain;

But love will keep on growing,

Despite advancing years,

When deep respect and kindness

Bring hope and banish fears.
