Come Holy Ghost, Creator blest 🎼
And in our Hearts take up thy rest

Come with Thy Grace and heavenly aid,

To fill the hearts which thou has made

O Comforter to Thee we cry
Thou heavenly gift of God most High.

Thou fount of life and fire of love

And sweet anointing form above

Praise be to thee, Father and Son

And Holy Spirit, with them one;

And may the Son on us bestow

The gifts that from the Spirit flow.

All: Amen.

Leader: As we come together to grace this occasion with our love and prayers, let us invite Jesus into our presence, as this couple start a family with God's blessing.

Leader:
Blessed are you, O Lord our God,
for you have created joy and gladness,
pleasure and delight, love, peace and fellowship.
 

Pour out the abundance of your blessing
upon N______ and N_______ in their new life together.
Let their love for each other be a seal upon their hearts
and a crown upon their heads.
 

Bless them in their work and in their companionship;
awake and asleep, in joy and in sorrow, in life and in death.
 

Finally, in your mercy, bring them to that banquet
where your saints feast for ever in your heavenly home.
We ask this through Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen

There shall be showers of blessings.

This is the promise of love

There shall be seasons refreshing
Sent form the savior above

Showers of blessings
Showers of blessings we need,
Mercy drops round us are falling
But for the showers we plead

There shall be showers of blessings
Precious reviving again

Over the hills and the valleys
Sound of abundance of rain

There shall be showers of blessing
Send them upon us, O Lord!
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come, and now honor Thy Word.

There shall be showers of blessings.

Oh that today they might fall,
Now as to God we are confessing
Now as on Jesus we call.
