493. With grateful hearts and tuneful lays

1 With grateful hearts and tuneful lays,
We bow before th'eternal throne,
And offer up our humble praise
To Him whose name is God alone.

2 On this auspicious hour draw near,
And shed Thy richest blessings down;
Fill ev'ry heart with love sincere,
And all Thy faithful mercies crown.

3 Grant now Thy presence, gracious Lord,
And hearken to our fervent prayer;
The nuptial vow in heaven record,
And bless the newly married pair.

4 Oh, guide them safe this desert through,
'Mid all the cares of life and love,
At length, with joy, Thy face to view,
In fairer, better worlds above.
