D / / | A / D | A E / | A / / | E

[Verse 1]

(E)         A
There they stand hand in hand
           D               A
They've ex-changed wedding bands
   D          A
To-day is the day
         B7              E7
They've sealed all their plans
    A
And all we who love them
     D         A
Just wanted to say
    D               A    /  D   E          A
Oh, God, bless this coup-le who married to-day


[Refrain]

   E
In good times and hard times
   D              A
In sickness or in health
    E
May they know that riches
       B7         E
Aren't needed for wealth
A              A7
Help them face problems
        D              A
They'll meet on their way
    D               A    /  D   E          A
Oh, God, bless this coup-le who married to-day


[Verse 2]

          A
May they find peace of mind
         D            A
Comes to all that are blind
        D           A
May the sad times a-head
       B7          E7
Become triumphs be-hind
A             A7          D        A
And may their children be happy as they
    D               A           D          E
Oh, God, bless this family that started to-day


   E
In good times and hard times
   D              A
In sickness or in health
    E
May they know that riches
       B7         E
Aren't needed for wealth
A              A7
Help them face problems
        D              A
They'll meet on their way
    D               A    /  D   E          A
Oh, God, bless this coup-le who married to-day

[Verse 3]

        A
As they go, may they know
        D             A
A real love that will show
       D          A
And as life gets shorter
    B7             E
May their feelings grow
      A         A7
Where-ever they travel
      D         A
Where-ever they stay
    D               A    /    D E          A
Oh, God, bless this coup-le who married to-day


   E
In good times and hard times
   D              A
In sickness or in health
    E
May they know that riches
       B7         E
Aren't needed for wealth
A              A7
Help them face problems
        D              A
They'll meet on their way
    D               A    /  D   E          A
Oh, God, bless this coup-le who married to-day
