The Joy Of Wedding

"The Joy Of Wedding" is a gentle, prayerful hymn sung to bless a newly married couple. Structured as a series of petitions to Christ, the song asks Him to bestow essential gifts on the bride and groom as they begin their life together. It moves through a sequence of prayers, asking for joy, love, truth, hope, life, grace, and peace to fill their home.

In the choir loft, this piece is a fitting choice for a wedding Mass, particularly during the signing of the register or as a meditative hymn after Communion. The melody is straightforward and heartfelt, carrying a beautiful image of the couple shining "like stars" to the world. It captures the Christian vision of marriage as a radiant, living witness of faith.
