Hymn Tune: Repton Words: Revd David Mowbray May Christ, the Lord of Cana s feast, Who made the water wine, Be welcomed as the honoured guest, Our risen Master now confessed, God s messenger and sign. What God has joined, we hear him say, Let no one break apart! With his two servants here today May Christ s own love forever stay, True bond of mind and heart. Whatever joys or sorrows come May steadfastness be theirs! God s truth and kindness grace their home, His presence fill the humblest room, His Spirit stir their prayers. With brightened eyes of faith we ll see God s plan for them made plain: So shall our hearts together be Uplifted in the Trinity And echo the Amen. CCL No. 939668
