May they forever be faithful to the vows they made.  Grow in love for one another and be ready to raise a family founded on that love.  Let us pray to the Lord.

For the parents of LIAM and GRACE, who have given much themselves to raise their children, that they may experience God's love, enjoy good health and peace of mind.  Let us pray to the Lord.

OFFERTORY:

OH LORD, FATHER

Oh Lord, Father Almighty, accept this bread and wine
We offer now our gifts to thee, to show that we are thine.

Refrain I

And we will give you music, for a thousand themes,
To serve you and love, for our whole life through.

II
You thought us how to love you, to love our neighbours too,
So clean our hearts and bless our mind, for you to dwell us rhyme.

Refrain II

And we love one another, as brothers and sisters.
With nothing to make us, hate each other.

Soon we will all be sharing, the banquet of our King,
So clean our hearts and bless our minds, for you to dwell us rhyme.

Repeat Refrain I
Repeat Refrain II until end.

And to serve you and love you, for our whole life through.
