Lord Jesus Christ, invited guest and saviour,
with tender mercy hear us as we pray;
grant our desire for those who seek your favour,
come with your love and bless them both today.
2. Give them your strength for caring and for serving,
give them your graces-faithfulness and prayer;
make their resolve to follow you unswerving,
make their reward your peace beyond compare.
3. Be their delight in joy, their hope in sorrow,
be their true friend in pleasure as in pain;
guest of today and guardian of tomorrow,
turn humble water into wine again!
Scriptures: Luke 19:9, John 2:1-11, John 4:46, Philippians 4:6-7, Genesis 1:27-28, Ruth 4:11-13
