This is my hour of gladness
Here in this holy place
Joy that forbids all sadness
Glows as I see your face.
Bells proclaim the moment
God be with us now
As we seek fulfillment
In this sacred vow.
The things you bring to me
Will now and ever be
The greatest gift my world has known
All our tomorrows will be golden
Because the two of us are one.
You give your heart to me
And in it I can see
A life of joy as our reward.
The love that we have built together
Will in God's blessing be restored.
If we walk with the Lord He'll help us to grow
And become ever strong and pure
He will show us the way to know in harmony each day
Love will endure.
The things you've given me
Are now and endlessly
The richest gift my world can own.
Tomorrow promises fulfillment
Because the two of us are one
God gives his blessing on this moment
As now the two of us are one.

I wrote these lyrics and my husband wrote a beautiful melody. It was sung at our wedding any several family weddings since. I'm proud of it.
