Hymn suggestions:
Let’s Praise The Creator (can be sung to Kremser)
Let’s praise the Creator who gave us each other
In friendship and kinship to celebrate life,
Let’s sing our delight in this man and this woman,
The promise of joy as a husband and wife.
The love that we wish them, the love that we pray for
Is stronger than storms and more gentle than breath,
Endures every trouble, is selfless and faithful,
More precious than life and more lasting than death.
In vows that are honored, in kissing and blessing
May happiness shine like the gold of a ring,
In passionate joy and compassionate caring
May theirs be the gifts that true loving can bring.

Hear Us Now, Our God and Father (can be sung to Hyfrydol)
Hear us now, our God and Father, Give them joy to lighten sorrow!
Send your Spirit from above Give them hope to brighten life!
On this Christian man and woman Go with them to face the morrow,
Who here make their vows of love! Stay with them in ev’ry strife.
Bind their hearts in true devotion As your Word has promised, ever
Endless as the seashore’s sands, Fill them with your strength and grace
Boundless as the deepest oceans, So that each may serve the other
Blest and sealed by your own hands.
Till they see you face to face.
May the grace of Christ, our Savior,
And the Father’s boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit’s favor
Rest upon them from above.
Thus may they abide in union
With each other and the Lord,
And possess in sweet communion
Joys which earth cannot afford.
