1 Lord, who at Cana’s wedding feast
Didst as a guest appear,
Thou dearer far than earthly guest
Vouchsafe Thy presence here;
For holy Thou indeed dost prove
The marriage vow to be,
Proclaiming it a type of love
Between the Church and Thee.

Between the Church and Thee.
2 The holiest vow that man can make,
The golden thread in life,
The bond that none may dare to break,
That bindeth man and wife;
Which, blest by Thee, whate’er betides,
No evil shall destroy,
Thro' care-worn days each care divides,
And doubles every joy.
