The Author blest of man’s creation
Now lends our song a Father’s ear;
Eternal Lord of heaven above,
Look down and bless their plighted love.
O’er each event of life presiding,
May God rich gifts on both bestow,
With heavenly light your footsteps guiding,
As through the world’s dark wild ye go;
Eternal Lord of heaven above,
Look down and bless their plighted love.
