Our Hearts Are Bound

Today I take this ring of gold
And place it on your finger.
Then walk with you toward joys untold.
Sweet memory will linger
Of eternal love pledged here today.
Those dear to us gather round
As we exchange these rings of love
By which our hearts are bound.

Chorus:
As we waltz here so slowly
The whole world revolves around
This circle of love
By which our hearts are bound
Our hearts are bound

By fate or chance we stand today
Joined in mind and heart
And waltz in celebration of
The new life we will start.
With hopes and dreams to foster us,
Our loved ones gather round
In thankfulness for the love of God
By which our hearts are bound.

As this evening fades away,
We bid you all farewell
And walk in the newness of joy.
The memories of this day
In our hearts will always dwell
To be treasured as years go by.

Chorus

As we sail on through the storms of life
Sharing laughter, love and tears,
We know we have the compass
That will guide us through the years;
With the love of family and of friends
As an anchor strong and sound
And our love, the mast, stands tall and true
To which our sails are bound.

Chorus
