1.

Power from heaven sent to abide,
Bringing its peace to bridegroom and bride;
Blessings abundant, showing God’s love,
From all the saints and heaven above.

Chorus:

Glad songs and praises ring far and wide
Now as we honor bridegroom and bride.
Prayers of the saints from hearts filled with love
Rise up to heaven, to God above.

2.

Love’s holy bond is formed here today.
Live a pure life and walk in the way.
Build your new home on God’s holy ground;
From the first day let His love abound.

3.

Faithful to God and each other be,
Heeding His Word in true harmony.
Learn how to serve as God’s will you do,
For He has promised He’ll stand by you.

4.

Build in the Church a home filled with peace,
There where God’s rest and joy never cease.
Serve all the saints in meekness and love;
God’s richest grace He’ll grant from above.
