TWO

Two can raise a Christian fam'ly

Bringing forth a godly home;

Make a haven for the weary,

Giving rest to all who come.

When the gifts of grace are springing

And their goodness, hearts enjoy

Two will share each other's blessing:

Multiply each other's joy!

Two can pray for one another,

Two can keep each other warm;

When the pains of life grow stronger,

Two can weather through the storm.

Two must evermore be willing

To fulfill each other's need:

For the other person, caring

From all selfish motives, freed.

Two can joyfully discover

Secrets of the married life

Which the Lord has blessed forever

Only for the Man and Wife!

Two can share with one another

Deepest secrets of the soul

Hiding nothing from each other,

That their knowledge may be whole.

Two are partners in all matters

They should think and act as one,

Held and bound by unseen fetters

Till their life on earth is done.

Two whose lives have been united

By the loving hand of God,

Should continue to be guided

by the study of His Word.

Two can wait for Christ together

Hoping for His soon Return

Looking forward to the Rapture,

And eternal life in heav'n.

Two can raise a son and daughter

Training them to fear the Lord

Till they taste the Living Water

And find blessing in His Word.

Two were made to be together

In the Lord's eternal plan

That, united by the Father

They would serve Him till the end.
