God, in joy we ga­ther, giv­ing thanks for mar­riage,
Witnessing the love be­tween this wo­man and this man.
We with pray­ers sur­round them, ask­ing now your bless­ing:
Strengthen their love, Lord, by your lov­ing hand.

Christ, you blessed a wed­ding when you went to Ca­na;
Through your sac­ri­fi­cial love you show us how to live.
Look up­on this cou­ple, deep­en their com­mit­ments;
As you for­give us, teach them to for­give.

Fill them with your Spi­rit, give them gifts for liv­ing:
Faith, so they will trust you as their strength in all they do,
Hope, for you walk with them in their life to­ge­ther,
Love for each oth­er, love for serv­ing you.
