Your Wedding Prayer

"Your Wedding Prayer" by Eze Chris is a joyful, straightforward English piece for Catholic weddings. The solfa notation lays out a bright, celebratory chorus that captures the mood of the congregation: "It is your wedding day, O dear rejoice... and we are glad." It serves perfectly as an entrance or thanksgiving hymn during a Nuptial Mass, giving the choir a chance to sing blessings directly over the new couple.

The verses unfold as a series of heartfelt petitions for the bride and groom. The choir prays for their home, asking God for joy, good health, and peace. Lines like "What God has joined let no man put asunder" and the prayer to "enjoy fruits from your children" resonate deeply with Nigerian wedding traditions, where community blessing and the hope for a fruitful, lasting marriage are central to the celebration. The recurring plea, "O! Lord bless Your home," anchors the piece as a genuine prayer rather than just a festive song.
