There is an awe in mortals' joy	A
A deep mysterious fear	B
Half of the heart will still employ	A
As if we drew too near	B
To Eden's portal and those fires	C
That bicker round in wavy spires	D
Forbidding to our frail desires	C
What cost us once so dear	B
	-
We cower before th' heart searching eye	E
In rapture as its pain	F
E'en wedded Love till Thou be nigh	E
Dares not believe her gain	F
Then in the air she fearless springs	G
The breath of Heaven beneath her wings	G
And leaves her woodnote wild and sings	G
A tuned and measured strain	F
	-
Ill fare the lay though soft as dew	H
And free as air it fall	I
That with Thine altar full in view	H
Thy votaries would enthrall	I
To a foul dream of heathen night	J
Lifting her torch in Love's despite	J
And scaring with base wild fire light	J
The sacred nuptial hall	I
	-
Far other strains far other fires	C
Our marriage offering grace	K
Welcome all chaste and kind desires	C
With even matron pace	K
Approaching down this hallowed aisle	I
Where should ye seek Love's perfect smile	I
But where your prayers were learned erewhile	I
In her own native place	K
	-
Where but on His benignest brow	L
Who waits to bless you here	M
Living he owned no nuptial vow	L
No bower to Fancy dear	B
Love's very self for Him no need	N
To nurse on earth the heavenly seed	N
Yet comfort in His eye we read	O
For bridal joy and fear	B
	-
'Tis He who clasps the marriage band	P
And fits the spousal ring	Q
Then leaves ye kneeling hand in hand	P
Out of His stores to bring	Q
His Father's dearest blessing shed	O
Of old on Isaac's nuptial bed	O
Now on the board before ye spread	O
Of our all bounteous King	Q
	-
All blessings of the breast and womb	R
Of Heaven and earth beneath	S
Of converse high and sacred home	T
Are yours in life and death	U
Only kneel on nor turn away	V
From the pure shrine where Christ to day	V
Will store each flower ye duteous lay	V
For an eternal wreath	S
