II. "Both Jesus was called, and His disciples, to the marriage." HOW welcome was the call, When JESUS deigned in Cana's hall And happy was the Bride, And glad the Bridegroom's heart, His gracious power Divine O LORD of life and love, And bring a blessing from above O bless, as erst of old, The Bridegroom and the Bride; Bless with the holier stream that flowed Forth from Thy pierced Side. Before Thine Altar-throne This mercy we implore; As Thou dost knit them, LORD, in one, So bless them evermore. Amen. |
