Here they stand, hand in hand.

-6   -7   7   -7  -6    6
They exchanged wedding bands.

 7 7 -7  -6   6   7  7    7   
Today is the day of all their

  7    -7    7    -8
dreams and their plans.

 6   8  8   8    -8    -7  
And all of their loved ones

 7   -7  -6   6
are here to say,

 7   -7   -6    6  7   -9  8 -7 -8 7
God bless this couple who marry today.

Chorus

 6  6    -8    8  -8   -7
In good times and bad times

-8  7  -5   -6    6
In sickenss and health,

6     6   -8   8   -8 -7
May they know that riches

-7  -8   7 -7   7   -6
Are not needed for wealth.

 6   8    8    8   -8   7   
And help them face problems

  7      7   -7  -6   6
they'll meet on their way.

7   7   -7    -6    6 7   -9  8 -7  -8 7
Oh, God bless this couple who marry today.

May they find peace of mind comes to all who are kind.
May the rough times ahead become triumphs in time.
May their children be happy each day.
Oh, God bless the family who started today.  (Chorus)

As they go may they know ev'ry love that has shown
And as life it gets shorter may their feelings grow.
Wherever they travel, wherever they stay,
May God bless this couple who marry today.  (Chorus)
