Help me, Lord Jesus, to fulfil

The duties of a wedded wife,

Obedient to my husband’s will,

The joy and sunshine of his life.

Upon my brow no angry cloud,

Upon my lips no hasty word,

Not one rebellious thought allowed,

His wishes to my own preferred.

Help me to make my husband’s home

The calm abode of peace and love,

Where strife and discord ne’er may come,

A type of that we seek above.

To walk together in Thy sight,

To share each other’s joys and woes,

Together pray at dawn of light,

Together praise at evening’s close;
