How do you build a marriage true
How cleave and leave your families two
How seek the good of someone who
Is wretched, just as you?
With honor lift each other high
Sacrifice without a sigh
Decide to love ‘til one should die
Then wedded bliss is nigh.
We learn to love through knowing You
Who love and give, Your wife to woo
Faithful in all, ‘til all’s made new
Image we seek to shew.
To bear burdens, fore bearing sin
No bitter root allow within
One flesh as many joined now in
You find our part therein.
So build us up, this church to You
Be glorified in all we do
A spotless bride who catholic, true
Loves and receives Love’s due
