Nu mitt vilsna hjärta stilla sagt farväl
Till ett liv i skuggan
Av min sorgsna själ
Nu doftar det av liv nu älskar jag med mod
Nu är tid att leva
Du gör tanken god

Inför Gud och kyrkan lovar vi att älska

Löften vilar på vår tunga orden tröstar
Du är min och jag är din jag ger mig till dig
Hjärtat mitt kan inte säga nej

Så trösterik din kärlek vilar himmelsvid
Sorger hör nu hemma i förfluten tid
Så gripande en spegelbild av allt jag vill
Det är plötsligt en triumf att finnas till

Inför gud och kyrkan lovar vi att älska
Löften vilar på vår tunga orden tröstar
Du är min och jag är din jag ger mig till dig
Hjärtat mitt kan inte säga nej

Inför Gud och kyrkan lovar vi att älska
Löften vilar på vår tunga orden tröstar
Du är min och jag är din jag ger mig till dig
Hjärtat mitt kan inte säga nej

Inför Gud och kyrkan lovar vi att älska
Löften vilar på vår tunga orden tröstar

Du är min och jag är din jag ger mig till dig
Hjärtat mitt kan inte säga nej
