As beaut’ful bride stands with the conf’dent groom,

the marriage will be great that starts this day.

Proud families and friends here in this room

hear love, respect, and joy in all they say.

 

To spend an hour in such good company,

with friends both old and new, to celebrate

and share their wedding joy, it seems to me

that this life has no pleasure half as great.

 

E’en as the mist doth vanish with the sun,

so fears and worries vanished with this day.

May all the problems of their life so run,

testing their strength, then mist-like fade away.

 

May, as their journey now together starts,

God’s wisdom fill their minds, and love their hearts.
