Blessing, abundant blessing—
may blessing rest upon these newly married bride and groom,
today and forever.
Blessing, abundant blessing!

1

Just as You blessed the blessed couple
in Eden at the beginning,
O Lord, bless these two as well.
May they live always
with every kind of happiness and prosperity.

2

In the garden of their married life,
may they wear beautiful, delicate flowers of every color.
May their life together be filled with joy and fragrance,
and may they live peacefully and happily
throughout their days on earth.

3

May these two become one body,
just as Christ and His Church are one.
May they remain united and never separated
until the end of their lives,
and even in times of great suffering,
may they continue to love one another.

4

May they always seek first
the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
May they set a good example
wherever they live in this world,
and may they journey joyfully
toward their heavenly home.
