A Life Together in Love and Troth

A life to­ge­ther in love and troth

To man and wo­man is rich in bless­ing

For joys are great­er when shared by both

And cares and sor­rows are less dis­tress­ing.

In love abid­ing

in God con­fid­ing:

In God con­fid­ing

the Lord is guid­ing

Your life in Him: your life in Him.

It is a bless­ing when large and small

In ev­ery home are as one in spir­it

When God is fear­èd by one and all

And they the love of each oth­er mer­it.

In love abid­ing

in God con­fid­ing:

In God con­fid­ing

the Lord is guid­ing

Your hearth and home

your hearth and home.

It is a com­fort to look and pray

To God

the fount of our con­so­la­tion.

He will not leave us when we are gray;

His grace is new to each ge­ne­ra­tion.

In love abid­ing

in God con­fid­ing;

In God con­fid­ing

the Lord is guid­ing

You with His grace

you with His grace.

It is so bit­ter for those to part

Who live to­ge­ther in love re­quit­ed.

At home in Heav­en

each lone­ly heart

With those it loves shall be reu­nit­ed.

In love abid­ing

in God con­fid­ing:

In God con­fid­ing

the Lord is guid­ing

You with His grace

you with His grace.
