THE VOICE THAT BREATHED O'ER EDEN
C F
The voice that breathed o’er Eden,
C G G7
That earliest wedding day,
C F
The primal marriage blessing,
C G C
It hath not passed away.
Dm C
Still in the pure espousal
F G G7
Of Christian man and maid,
C F
The holy Three are with us,
C F G C
The threefold grace is said,
C F
For do’er of blessed children,
C G G7
For love and faith's sweet sake,
C F
For high mysterious union
C G C
Which naught on earth may break.
Dm C
Be present, loving Father,
F G G7
To give away this bride,
C F
As Thou gav’st Eve to Adam
C F G C
Out of his own pierced side:
C F
Be present, Son of Mary,
C G G7
To join their loving hands,
C F
As Thou didst bind two natures
C G C
In Thine eternal hands!
Dm C
Be present, holiest Spirit,
F G G7
To bless them as they kneel,
C F
As Thou, for Christ the Bridegroom,
C F G C
The heavenly Spouse dost seal!
C F
O spread Thy pure wing o’er them,
C G G7
Let no ill power find place,
C F
When onward to Thine Altar
C G C
Their hallowed path they trace.
Dm C
To cast their crowns before Thee
F G G7
In perfect sacrifice,
C F
Till to the home of gladness
C F G C
With Christ’s own Bride they rise.
