1.tdm.fs, s, ❘d :

FATHER all creating,

Whose wisdom, love, and power,

First bound two lives together
In Eden's primal hour,
To-day to these Thy children
Thine earliest gift renew;
A home by Thee made happy,
A love by Thee kept true.
2 O Saviour, guest most bounteous
Of old in Galilee,

Vouchsafe to-day Thy presence
With these who call on Thee;
Their store of earthly gladness
Transform to heavenly wine,
And teach them in the tasting
To know the gift is Thine.

3 0 Spirit of the Father,

Breathe on them from above,
So mighty in Thy pureness,
So tender in Thy love;
That guarded by Thy presence,
From sin and strife kept free,
Their lives may own Thy guidance,
Their hearts be ruled by Thee.

4 Except Thou build it, Father,
The house is built in vain ;
Except Thou, Saviour, bless it,
The joy will turn to pain;
But nought can break the union
Of hearts in Thee made one,
And love which Thou hast hallowed
Is endless love begun.

1

DAY of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,

O balm of care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright;
On thee the high and lowly,
Through ages joined in tune,
Sing, Holy, Holy, Holy,

To the great God Triune.

2 On thee, at the creation,

The light first had its birth:
On thee, for our salvation,

Christ rose from depths of earth;

On thee, our Lord victorious
The Spirit sent from heaven;
And thus on thee most glorious
A triple light was given.

3 Thou art a port protected
From storms that round us rise;
A garden intersected

With streams of Paradise;
Thou art a cooling fountain

In life's dry dreary sand;

From thee, like Pisgah's mountain,
We view our Promised Land.
