Wedding Song for Amanda and Matthew
(Love is Patient)

music and lyrics by Bernard Hull

Now, your single life is at an end,

You’re joined as one with your best friend,

And we pray you’ll be blessed.

So I have some fatherly advice,

And I will try to be concise,

With the words I express,

Love is patient, love is kind,

Never seeking to malign,

Never envious or full of pride,

Ever seeking to confide,

Seek to serve each other every day,

And don’t demand to have your way,

At the other’s expense,

Keep a short account of any wrong,

For then your marriage will be strong,

And display excellence.

Love is patient, love is kind,

Never seeking to malign,

Never envious or full of pride,

Ever seeking to confide,

So we celebrate this happy day,

When we gave our baby girl away,

Let the bells ring out across the land,

And let angels join at God’s command,

We join with the angels as they stand and sing,

In loud celebration of our princess and King,

Let every day be,

Happy and care free,

And every day,

Be more in love.
