Pleasantness and Praise

A wedding prayer for a young couple ... the groom's name Noam means "pleasantness" and the bride's name Tehilla means "praise".

“Pleasantness and Praise”

Braid my life to thine I pray …

I seek thy love forever mine.

Our family will be, we vow to Thee,

a home unto His glory divine.

I promise all I am, to thee I give,

Stand with me on this, Thy sacred altar.

Wedded today in our oneness become …

open Thine hand when we falter.

As days become years, many may we merit,

favor our bountiful works, our hands need strengthen.

From the corners of fields, gleanings to harvest,

cherish us in life so our days lengthen.

Pleasantness and Praise ... may your life be enriched,

"v’shinantam levanecha v’debarta bam",*

each day in your service to Him ...

may Noam love Tehilla and Tehilla … Noam.

Great about wedding and making a lifetogether forever and forever. I liked this write it is superbly said and says much and means much to me too. Even at 64 I love to see happily married couples making it in their marriages.
