BRIDAL OFFERING.
And he holds dearer than his lifeThe fair girl at his side;His every hope he gives intoThe keeping of his bride.
God keep you both in faithfulnessToo sweet for any tears,Too perfect for unhappinessThroughout the coming years.May woman's purest confidenceGrow strong about his life,And manhood's deepest tendernessStill crown you as his wife.
