A Little Wedding Music (Hopkins, set by I. Anhalt) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


1. Entry of the Bride

 [tacet]

2. At the Wedding March

 God with honour hang your head,
 Groom, and grace you, bride, your bed
 With lissome scions, sweet scions,
 Out of hallowed bodies bred.

 Each be other's comfort kind:
 Deep, deeper than devined.
 Divine charity, dear charity,
 Fast you ever, fast bind.
 
 Then let the March tread our ears;
 I to him turn with tears
 Who to wedlock, his wonder wedlock,
 Deals triumph, triumph and immortal years.

3. March of the Newlyweds

 [tacet]
