The Call to Righteousness
The crowns are removed with a call to righteousness.

 |
| “Be exalted like Abraham, O Bridegroom, and be blest like Isaac, and multiply like Jacob, walking in peace, and keeping God's commandments in righteousness.” |
“And you, O Bride: Be exalted like Sarah, and exult like Rebecca and multiply like Rachel; and rejoice in your husband, fulfilling the conditions of the law, for it is well pleasing to God.” |
|
|
| “O God, our God, who did come to Cana of Galilee, and did bless there the marriage feast: Bless also these Your servants, who through Your good providence now are united in wedlock. Bless their goings out and their comings in. Fill their life with good things. Receive their crowns into Your kingdom, preserving them spotless, blameless, and without reproach, unto ages of ages. Amen.” |
