#657O God, From Whom Mankind

1
O God from whom mankind derives its name; Whose covenant of grace remains the same, To each the gift of truth-ful speech impart.
2
May through their union other lives be blessed; Their door be wide to stranger and to guest, Bring to their mind the vows they make this day.
3
Preserve their days from inwardness of heart; To each the gift of truth-ful speech impart. Your Spirit be their Guide in every move.
4
Be with these two who now before You wait; Give them the bond be strong against all strain Enlarge the love they come to consecrate.
