With good wine, Lord, at Cana, The wedding feast you blessed. Grant also these your presence, And be their dearest guest. Their store of earthly gladness, Transform to heav nly wine, And teach them, in the testing, to know the gift divine. E. When Love Is Found (Cantor: Merilee Warner) When love is found and hope comes home; Sing and be glad that two are one. When love explodes and fills the sky, Praise God and share our Maker s joy.
