Music

Love knows no limit to its endurance; no end to its trust.
Love still stands when all else has fallen.

This day I marry my friend;
The one I laugh with, live for, dream with, and love

As marriage brings new meaning to our love;
So love brings new meaning to our life.
Witness here this union of man and wife.

lyrics by Barry Booth
Life’s shadows mask
The rose and the thistle

For hope is a budding
In shadows we dream.

The thorn of forgiving
In sweetness of praying;

The promise of fruit
When the blossom has gone;

The bidding of bells
To a feast held in light

To ask to rename
The rose and the thistle.

The rose and the thistle,
Their stems are as one.
