534 O Father all creating

1 O Father all creating, Whose wisdom, love, and power First bound two lives together In Eden's primal hour, To-day to these Thy children Thine earliest gifts renew, A home by Thee made happy, A love by Thee kept true. 2 O Savior, guest most bounteous Of old in Galilee, Vouchsafe to-day Thy presence With those who call on Thee: Their store of earthly gladness Transform to heavenly wine, And teach them, in the tasting, To know the gift is Thine. 3 O Spirit of the Father, Breathe on them from above, So mighty in Thy pureness, So tender in Thy love; That guarded by Thy presence, From sin and strife kept free, Their lives may own Thy guidance, Their hearts be ruled by Thee. 4 Except Thou build it, Father, The house is built in vain; Except Thou, Savior, bless it, The joy will turn to pain; But naught can break the marriage Of hearts in Thee made one, And love Thy Spirit hallows Is endless love begun.
