Original Music: O Worship the King; Attr. Johann Michael Hayden, 1737-1806.
O husbands of earth, the leadership bear,
And gratefully love the bride of your care.
Secure and defend her, love only thy wife,
Encourage and praise her till death ends in life.
O husbands of one, do fan into flame,
Desire for thy wife, your love must remain.
The vows you’ve committed must ever be strong,
Beware of contention; the heart prone to wrong.
O keepers of love, forgive all offense,
Secured in God’s grace, give her assurance.
Christ laid down his riches; His life for your soul,
Do love her with patience, as Christ is our goal.
Our children would learn, to hope in God’s love,
In marriage displayed with grace from above.
How mothers and fathers communicate grace,
Reflecting the gospel throughout human race.
What glorious sign that you have believed,
As you love your wife, the world may receive.
The message of God’s love, the proof in the comb,
Our journey made sweeter by love in our home.
