Post by polkaedHello all,
I am looking for the English words for the wedding Unveiling Song.
I had the words and music but lost everything in the 2007 storm we had
here in the Buffalo, NY area.
This is for my cousins daughters wedding.
I am so glad that they are keeping the tradition alive.
Thank you and God Bless,
Ed Rajewski
Here's what we use in Western NY. (please forgive some of Polish
spelling.
TWELVE ANGELS *
(THE UNVEILING SONG)
AS LOVELY GREEN GRASS GROWS,
THROUGHOUT THE PROMISED LAND,
BEFORE THE MAIN ALTER,
YOU’VE GIVEN (GROOMS NAME) YOUR HAND,
YOU’VE GIVEN (GROOMS NAME) YOUR HAND,
HE GAVE A GOLDEN BAND
YOUR EYES SWELLED UP WITH TEARS,
BEFORE YOU’RE FRIENDS, ON HAND.
TWELVE LOVELY WHITE PETALS,
ATTACHED TO THIS WHITE ROSE,
TWELVE HEAVENLY ANGELS
SERVE THE BRIDE THEY CHOSE,
THE FIRST ANGEL HAS BROUGHT,
A WHITE CANDLE’S BRILLIANCE,
THE SECOND ANGEL HAS BROUGHT,
A LILY’S FULL FRAGRANCE,
THE THIRD ANGEL HAS BROUGHT,
A LOVELY BOUQUET TO HOLD,
THE FOURTH ANGEL HAS BROUGHT,
YOUR WEDDING BAND OF GOLD,
THE FIFTH ANGEL HAS COME,
WITH BLESSINGS FROM THE LORD,
THE SIXTH ANGEL HAS COME,
WITH MATRIMONAL ACCORD.
REMAINING SIX ANGELS,
COME WITH A CROWN SO KEEN,
THEY PLACE IT ON YOUR HEAD,
AS IF UPON A QUEEN
YOU PROMISED TO BE TRUE,
LOVE, HONOR AND OBEY,
IN ALL YOUR DAYS AHEAD,
UPHOLD VOWS MADE TODAY.
REMEMBER TO BE GOOD,
AND LIVE IN WEDDED BLISS,
AND IN OUR PRESENCE NOW,
HONOR HIM WITH A KISS.
REMEMBER (BRIDES NAME), BE TRUE,
YOUR RIGHT HAND ON THE CROSS,
YOU’VE PLEDGED YOUR LIFE TO (GROOMS NAME),
WHO WILL BE THE BOSS.
OH WEDDING GOWN AND CROWN,
SOMEHOW YOU MAKE ME SAD,
YOU MAKE ME FEEL THAT,
I’M LOSING MY MOM AND DAD.
AND YET WITH MOM AND DAD
NO LONGER SHALL YO LIVE,
BUT ONLY WITH YOUR (GROOMS NAME),
TO WHOM YOUR LOVE YOU GIVE.
REMEMBER TO BE GOOD,
AND LIVE A LIFE OF PRAYER
AND IN A YEAR OR TWO,
PRESENT HIM WITH A HEIR.
