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