A Bridal Wish.
To-day the dear home ties you break,
To-day familiar paths forsake,
Leaving the old for new love's sake.
To-day familiar paths forsake,
Leaving the old for new love's sake.
O that your future path may be
From care exempt, from sorrow free;
Your lives be spent in harmony.
From care exempt, from sorrow free;
Your lives be spent in harmony.
Heav'n bless you both, bridegroom and bride;
And, as you journey side by side,
May sweet content with you abide;
And, as you journey side by side,
May sweet content with you abide;
And, on this happy bridal day,
The sweetest wish that I can say
Is "May your joy abide for aye."
The sweetest wish that I can say
Is "May your joy abide for aye."
