いのちとひかり たもう神よ、
そのみ恵みは かぎりもなし。
すべてのものを 守り照らし
聖き愛もて 満たしたまえ。
2
むすぶ手と手を 主よ、祝して
ふたりの心 ひとつとなし、
ともに家庭を 築く誓い、
まこととなして 導きませ。

愛のみ神よ、世の旅路を
助け合いつつ たどるまにも、
喜びみつる 神の国に
住まうそなえを なさせたまえ。 |
O Love divine and golden,
Mysterious depth and height,
To Thee the world beholden,
Looks up for life and light;
O Love divine and gentle,
The blesser and the blest,
Beneath Thy care parental
The world lies down in rest.
O Love divine and tender,
That through our homes dost move,
Veiled in the softened splendor
O holy household love,
A throne without Thy blessing
Were labor without rest,
And cottages possessing
Thy blessedness are blest.
God bless these hands united;
God bless these hearts made one!
Unsevered and unblighted
May they through life go on,
Here in earth’s home preparing
For the bright home above,
And there forever sharing
Its joy where “God is Love.”
