►Gracious God, richly bless

Gracious God, richly bless (......) and (.......)

in the promises that they have made to each other.

Grant that the courtesies, the thoughtfulness,

and the self giving which already

have laid the foundation for their love,

build the home which is raised on it.

May they be loyal and engaging companions to each other,

and may they be loving and wise parents.

And in this world

where there is much disillusion and disappointment...

where love brings delight

and also wounding in the frailty of our ways...

make them a visible symbol of the love that does not wane when

the evening comes but is fresh with each new day.

And as you bless this special couple this day,

bless each union represented here.

Forgive us where we have not been good news

and glad days for each other.

Perfect our imperfect love with the joy that comes from above,

and may we grow ourselves and grow in affirmation of the other.

May the Lord bless you and take care of you:

May the Lord be kind and gracious to you:

May the Lord look on you with favour and give you peace.

~~~~~~

Gracious God, richly bless
