Wedding Hymn
From the opera “Ptolemy”
George Frederic Handel

Sung on this track by the YELLOW cantor.

Text:
Father in heaven abiding, Who hears our prayers at all times:
Grant that these pledges given and taken with Thy blessing,
may bring to these, Thy servants, a joy never known before;
That, in these years to follow, increases more and more.

Give them the grace of Angels, give them a constant charity
and faith in the peace of heaven which we, with them, may see.
Father and Son and Spirit, with prayers from thy Saints and Angels:
Grant that these pledges given and taken with Thy blessing,
may bring to these Thy servants a joy never known before,
Love in a new fulfillment, increasing more and more.
