Prayer of a Bride
Dear Father who art in Heaven if it be thy will,
On my blessed wedding day bid me to fulfill,
Each vow I take with humble heart and grant me to intrust,
This man I choose forever more until the earths in crust.
Please give me understanding and the power to forgive,
And add consideration to this new life I must live.
Help me O'er the rough roads for rough roads there shall be,
Making the joy of happiness live 'til eternity.
If I try and try I will, dear Lord I shan't forget,
Your helping hand has guided me past the word regret.
So once again, I beg dear Lord, Please linger by my side,
The day I change from a silly girl, to a woman and a Bride!

Many years ago, Prayer of a Bride was featured in the Bridal Society Section of the Chicago Tribune. I was thrilled-no money
