Sample Wedding The Wedding Songs of Geraldine & Paul August 4th 2001
Entrance: Wagner’s Bridal March
Psalm: On Eagles Wings You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, Who abide in his shadow for life Say to the Lord: "My refuge, My Rock in whom I trust!"
And He will raise you up on eagles wings Bear you on the breath of dawn, Make you to shine like the sun, And hold you in the palm of his hand.
The snare of the fowler will never capture you, And famine will bring you no fear, Under His wings your refuge His faithfulness your shield.
You need not fear the terror of the night Nor the arrow that flies by day. Though thousands may fall about you, Near you it shall not come.
For to His angels He's given a command, To guard you in all of your ways; Upon their hands they will bear you up, Lest
you dash your foot against a stone.
Gospel
Acclamation: Gospel Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Let us not love in word or in speech, But in deed and in truth. Alleluia…
Lighting
of Candles: Candles
Long Ago One
tiny spark and a candle is flickering Just as the room is aglow with a golden light, something glows in me. A
distant night and the loving light
Hear how the songs that were sung keep on echoing, beautiful and clear. All of the people we loved are beside us now, can’t you feel them near? One then there’s two soon there’s light shining everywhere, all the world seems to know. Every year we’ll be standing here, lit by candles long ago. Lit by candles long ago.
Offertory: Ag Críost an Síol Ag Críost an síol, ag Críost an Fómhar, In iothlainn Dé go dtugtar sinn. Ag Críost an mhuir, ag críost an tiasc, I líonta Dé go gcastar sinn. Ó fhás go haois, is ó aois go bás, Do dhá láimh a Críost, anall tharainn. Ó bhás go críoch, ní críoch ach athfhás, I bParthas na nGrást go rabhaimid.
Memorial Acclamation: He is Lord! He is Lord! He is Lord! He is risen from the dead and He is Lord! Every
knee shall bow That Jesus Christ is Lord! The Great Amen: Amen Amen,
amen amen, amen, amen...
Sign of Peace: Peace/Lamb of God Peace I leave with you, my friend, my friend And I'll be with you ‘til the end
Lamb
of God you take away the sins of the world, Have
mercy on us. Grant
us peace.
Communion: Ave Maria / I Believe Ave
Maria gratia plena, I
believe in every drop of rain that falls Wonderful WorldI
see trees of green, red roses too, I
see them bloom for me and you, And
I think to myself, What a wonderful world.
I
see skies of blue and clouds of white, The
bright blessed days, the dark sacred night, And
I think to myself, What a wonderful world.
The
colours of the rainbow, So
pretty in the sky, Are
also on the faces of people going by. I see friends shaking hands Saying
“how do you do?” They’re
really saying, “I love you!” I
hear babies crying. I watch them grow. They’ll
learn much more than I’ll ever know, And
I think to myself, What a wonderful world. And
I think to myself, What a wonderful world.
Put
Your Hand In The Hand Put
your hand in the hand of the man Who
stilled the waters Put
your hand in the hand of the man Who
calmed the sea Take a look at
yourself And you can look at others differently, By putting your hand in the hand Of the man from Galilee.
Every
time I look into the Holy Book I wanna tremble, When I hear about the part, Where
the carpenter cleared the temple. For the buyers and the sellers Were
no different fellas than what I professed to be. And it causes me shame to know We’re
not the people we should be.
Communion Reflection: Oh
Lord Hear My Prayer Oh Lord hear my prayer, When I call answer me. Oh Lord hear my prayer, Oh Lord hear my prayer, Come and listen to me.
Signing of the Register: The
Voyagers I am a sailor; you’re my first mate, We signed on together and coupled our fate. We
hauled up our anchor determined not to fail, For the heart’s treasure together we set sail. With
no maps to guide us we steered our own course We
rode out the storms though the winds blow gale force. We
sat out the doldrums in patience and hope Working
together we learned how to cope. Life is an ocean and love is a boat. In
troubled waters it keeps us afloat. When we started to voyage there was just me and you. Now gathered ‘round us we have our own crew. Together
we’re in this relation-ship. We’ve
built it together to last the whole trip. Our
true destination is not marked on a chart. We’re
navigating for the shores of the heart.
When You Say Nothing It’s
amazing how you can speak right through my heart. Without
saying a word, you can light up the dark. Try
as I may I can never explain. What
I hear when you don’t say a thing. The
smile on your face lets me know that you need me. There’s
a truth in your eyes saying you’ll never leave me. The
touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wherever I fall. You
say it best when you say nothing at all.
All
day long I can hear people talking out loud. Oh
when you’re holding me you drown out the crowd. Try as they may they can never define What’s been said between your heart and mine.
I skimmed across black water, Without once submerging Onto the banks of an urban morning. That hungers the first light Much much more than the mountains ever do. And she like a ghost beside me Goes
down with the ease of a dolphin And
emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed. She is the perfect creature, Natural
in every feature, And
I am the geek with the alchemist stone. For
all of you who must discover, For
all who seek to understand, For
having left the path of others, You
find a very special hand. And
it is a holy thing and it is a precious time, And
it is the only way. Forget-me-nots
among the snow, It’s
always been and so it goes To
ponder his death and his life eternally.
One
bright blue rose outlives all those, Two
thousand years and so it goes, To
ponder his death and his life eternally.
