Softly, softly, stir the chorus
Louder let the organ peal;
TenderIy along the aisles
Let the golden music steal.
Hush. she comes, the radiant bride;
Swell the glorious tones with pride,
See, her veil ABOUT her floats.
Thrill the gentle minor notes.
Every heart is ters this day:
Flowers before her feet are cast,
Stepping on her maiden way,
Stepping from her sheltered past.
Nav the years before her be
Full of bliss and loyalty;
May he whom she takes tris hour
Guard her with his manhood power.
Heaven bless this fairest maid:

And his presence evermore
Dwell within their happy door.
