Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- The voice that breathed o’er Eden, that earliest wedding day,
- The primal wedding blessing, it hath not passed away.
- Still in the pure espousal of Christian man and maid
- The Holy Three are with us, the threefold grace is said.
- 2.
- For dower of blessèd children,
- For love and faith’s sweet sake,
- For high mysterious union
- Which naught on earth may break.
- 3.
- Be present, awful Father, to give away this bride
- As Thou gav’st Eve to Adam, a helpmate at his side.
- Be present, Son of Mary, to join their loving hands
- As Thou didst bind two natures in Thine eternal bands.
- 4.
- Be present, Holy Spirit, to bless them as they kneel,
- As Thou for Christ, the Bridegroom, the heav’nly Spouse dost seal.
- O spread Thy pure wing o’er them, let no ill power find place
- When onward to Thine altar their hallowed path they trace.
- 5.
- To cast their crowns before Thee in perfect sacrifice,
- Till to the home of gladness with Christ’s own Bride they rise.
- To Father, Son, and Spirit, eternal One and Three,
- And was and is forever, all praise and glory be.
Lyrics: John Keble, 1857.
