1.    Bless, O Lord, our Saviour dear,
    These Thy children waiting here
    For Thy blessing; make their union
    Firmly held in Thy communion;
    Bless them Lord, Thy children dear.

2.    Keep them soul and body one,
    One in Thee and for Thee won;
    Keep them when the angel fallen,
    Tries to break away this union,
    Till their work on earth is done.

3.    Thine they are and keep them Thine,
    Always Thine with love divine,
    Safe, O Saviour, in Thy bosom,
    Free from harm and evil loathsome,
    Help them daily for Thee shine.

4.    While on earth they plod their way,
    Walk beside them day by day;
    Guide them, guard them, draw them nearer
    Unto Thee, O loving Saviour,
    Ev’ry hour, O Lord, we pray.

5.    Bless them now and bless them ev’r
    With Thy grace and mercies rare,
    That their lives they live united
    Always, Lord, in Thee delighted,
    Casting on Thee ev’ry care.

6.    And at last, their labour o’er,
    Pass they through Thy kingdom’s door,
    How they’ll love to meet their Bridegroom,
    Freed from every care and gloom!
    Till then, bless them more and more.
