Just Married.
You've launched in a new vessel,
And down life's stream you're going,
Remember that life's tides will rise,
And life's winds will be blowing.
And down life's stream you're going,
Remember that life's tides will rise,
And life's winds will be blowing.
But while the storms are raging,
Stand by each other's side,
And just as 'tis when all is calm,
Your boat will stem the tide.
Stand by each other's side,
And just as 'tis when all is calm,
Your boat will stem the tide.
Eternal love and wisdom drew
The plan of earth and skies,
Let His great love be e'er your guide
Throughout your married lives.
The plan of earth and skies,
Let His great love be e'er your guide
Throughout your married lives.
May your lives be prosperous,
And always full of love,
And may you both be led by Him
Whose home's in heaven above.
And always full of love,
And may you both be led by Him
Whose home's in heaven above.
All earthly good we wish thee,
All good for thee and thine,
And still not only earthly,
But all that is divine.
All good for thee and thine,
And still not only earthly,
But all that is divine.
May heaven and earth both mingle,
May earth and heaven be one
All through your earthly journey,
Till set your earthly sun.
May earth and heaven be one
All through your earthly journey,
Till set your earthly sun.

The heart that you have given,
The heart that's given to you,
May both be joined together,
May both be good and true.
The heart that's given to you,
May both be joined together,
May both be good and true.
In shadow and in sunshine,
In sighing and in song,
May heaven bless your union,
Throughout your whole life long.
In sighing and in song,
May heaven bless your union,
Throughout your whole life long.
