handfasting
I call Spi-rits of the Air
You whose Breath of life we share
And the Power of liv-ing Earth shall nou-rish You
Sum-mon Spi-rits of the Sea For Bright Wa-ters u-ni-ty
I call forth the power of Fire for pas-sions Flame
Bless this day our lov-ing Rite
As we here two souls u-nite
May this Bin-ding of their lives and love en-dure
Like a Star should your Love
Al-ways fair and con-stant be
Like the Earth your love should firm and fruit-ful be
Un-der-stand-ing and po-sess-ing
Through life's Trials and Cel-e-bra-tions
Shall the light of love shine brigh-tly in your Hearts
May the Gods from far and near
And from an-cient times ap-pear
At this time and place our lov-ing cir-cle join
Bless this day our lov-ing Rite
As we here two souls u-nite
May this Bin-ding of their lives and love en-dure
May this Love en-dure
