O Perfect Love
Author: Dorothy F. Gurney, 1858-1932 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 236 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 2:24 First Line: O perfect Love, all human thought transcending Lyrics: 1 O perfect Love, all human thought transcending,
Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne,
That theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
Whom Thou for evermore dost join in one.
2 O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance
Of tender charity and steadfast faith,
Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance,
With child-like trust that fears no pain nor death.
3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow,
Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
And to life's day the glorious, unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and life. Topics: Everlasting Life; God Love and Mercy; Jesus Christ His Love and Mercy; Marriage; Patience; Worship and Adoration Used With Tune: O PERFECT LOVE

As Man and Woman We Were Made
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 2:18-24 Lyrics: 1 As man and woman we were made
That love be found and life begun,
So praise the Lord Who made us two,
And praise the Lord when two are one;
Praise for the love that comes to life
Through child or parent, husband, wife.
2 Now Jesus lived and gave His love
To make our life and loving new;
So celebrate with Him today
And drink the joy He offers you;
That makes the simple moment shine
And changes water into wine.
3 And Jesus died to live again,
So praise the love that, come what may,
Can bring the dawn and clear the skies,
And waits to wipe all tears away;
And let us hope for what shall be,
Believing where we cannot see.
4 Then spread the table, clear the hall,
And celebrate till day is done;
Let peace go deep between us all
And joy be shared by everyone;
Laugh and make merry with your friends,
And praise the love that never ends.

I Sing th'Almighty Power of God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 469 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 2:1-22 Lyrics: 1 I sing th'amighty power of God
that made the mountains rise,
that spread the flowing seas abroad,
and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained
the sun to rule by day;
the moon shines full at his command,
and all the stars obey.
2 I sing the goodness of the Lord
that filled the earth with food;
he form'd the creatures with his word,
and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how thy wonders are displayed
where’er I turn my eye,
if I survey the ground I tread,
or gaze upon the sky!
3 Creatures, as num'rous as they be,
are subject to thy care;
there's not a place where we can flee,
but God is present there.
His hand is my perpetual guard,
he keeps me with his eye;
why should I then forget the Lord,
who is forever nigh?

When Love Is Found
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 2:18-24 First Line: When love is found and hope comes home Lyrics: 1 When love is found,
and hope comes home,
sing and be glad
that two are one.
When love explodes
and fills the sky,
praise God, and share
our Maker's joy.
2 When love has flow'red
in trust and care,
build both each day,
that love may dare
to reach beyond
home's warmth and light,
to serve and strive
for truth and right.
3 When love is tried
as loved ones change,
hold still to hope,
though all seems strange,
till ease returns
and love grows wise
through list'ning ears
and opened eyes.
4 When love is torn
and trust betrayed,
pray strength to love
till torments fade,
till lovers keep
no score of wrong,
but hear through pain
love's Easter song.
5 Praise God for love,
praise God for life,
in age or youth,
in husband, wife.
Lift up your hearts,
Let love be fed
through death and life
in broken bread. Topics: Marriage; Community in Christ Used With Tune: O WALY WALY

Touch the Earth Lightly
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 5.5.10 D Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 2:4-20 Lyrics: 1 Touch the earth lightly,
use the earth gently,
nourish the life of the world in our care:
gift of great wonder,
ours to surrender,
trust for the children tomorrow will bear.
2 We who endanger,
who create hunger,
agents of death for all creatures that live,
we who would foster
clouds of disaster,
God of our planet, forestall and forgive!
3 Let there be greening,
birth from the burning,
water that blesses and air that is sweet,
health in God’s garden,
hope in God’s children,
regeneration that peace will complete.
4 God of all living,
God of all loving,
God of the seedling, the snow, and the sun,
teach us, deflect us,
Christ reconnect us,
using us gently and making us one.

2 The love that we wish them, the love that we pray for
is stronger than storms and more gentle than breath,
endures every trouble, is selfless and faithful,
more precious than life and more lasting than death.

may happiness shine like the gold of a ring;
in passionate joy and compassionate caring
may theirs be the gifts that true loving can bring. Topics: The Church Celebrates Family, Friendship, and Marriage Used With Tune: THE ROAD AND THE MILES TO DUNDEE
