Wedding Wonderful - Valentines

Tune: Quebec

(\'Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts\')

Psalm 45 v.13-17

********

Here royal wedding, king\'s daughter

The groom does love her, and sought her

To be his bride, his wife for e\'er

Come to the feast and in it share

 

She be all glorious within

Her clothes woven with gold therein

She shall be brought unto the groom

Celebrating, for all there [is] room

 

She shall wear robes, colours many

Raiment of needlework it be

The women her companions

Bridesmaids they be, they fine fair ones

 

With gladness and rejoicing they

Come to the bride, and for her pray

They shall enter the king\'s palace

Wondrous, beauteous sign is this

 

Instead of your fathers shall be

Children, a generation, see

Them you may make to be princes

In all the earth, with full graces

 

I will make you name sure to be

Not forgotten, recalled, holy

Remembered through all time, all fare

So shall the people praise you e\'er
