Words are almost never used for the Wedding March|Here Comes The Bride|Bridal Chorus music. However, in the opera Lohengrin, from which Wagner gives us this bridal processional classic, the bridal party sings it to Elsa, the heroine, after the wedding ceremony and on her way to the bridal chamber. These are the final lyrics to be sung in the opera, though tinged with irony:
Faithfully guarded, remain behind
where the blessing of love shall preserve you...
Triumphant courage, love and happiness
join you in faith as the happiest of couples.
*If you listen closely to children playing, you might chance upon a young lady singing "Here comes the bride, dressed all in white" as she fantasizes about her own wedding day walk down the aisle. But as to where the "here comes the bride" lyric originated is anyone's guess.

(God) BLESS THE BROKEN ROAD lyrics:
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Chorus
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Only Hope (Mandy Moore) Piano Solo
There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
and pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
Sing to me the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
I give You my destiny
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

YOU AND ME LYRICS:
What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with Nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

There are of course no official lyrics for the Bridal Chorus, except in the opera Lohengrin, which lyrics are never heard in modern wedding ceremonies. However, if you come upon young ladies playing wedding you might overhear "here comes the bride, all dressed in white...." It is probably just as well we don't use the lyrics from the original opera scene, as it ends tragically for the "happy couple." And unlike weddings today, the bridal chorus was sung by the bridal party after the ceremony while the bride was making her way to the bridal chamber.

Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee (Ode To Joy) Beethoven (Orchestra) lyrics, from Wikipedia:
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day!
All Thy works with joy surround Thee, earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee, center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in Thee.
Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blessed,
Wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, all who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine.
Mortals, join the happy chorus, which the morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o’er us, brother love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us Sunward in the triumph song of life.

Storybook Love

Storybook Love lyrics:
Come my love I'll tell you a tale
Of a boy and girl and their love story
And how he loved her oh so much
And all the charms she did possess
Now this did happen once upon a time
When things were not so complex
How he worshiped the ground she walked
And when he looked in her eyes he became obsessed
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
It's as real as the feelings I feel
This love was stronger than the powers so dark
A prince could have within his keeping
His spells to weave and steal a heart
Within her breast but only sleeping
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
It's as real as the feelings I feel
Now he said, "Don't you know I love you oh so much
And lay my heart at the foot of your dress?"
She said, "Don't you know that these storybook loves
Always have a happy ending?"
Then he swooped her up just like in the books
And on his stallion they rode away
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel
My love is like a storybook story
But it's as real as the feelings I feel

The Prayer Lyrics (Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion version)
I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe
La luce che to dai
I pray we’ll find your light
Nel cuore restero
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarchi che
When stars go out each night
L’eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c’e
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe.
Sognamo un mondo senza piu violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita
La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E’il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child
Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
E la fede che
Hai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera

From This Moment LYRICS:
Spoken: I do swear that I'll aways be there.
I'd give anything and everything and I will always care.
Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow,
For better or worse, I will love you with
Every beat of my heart.
Sung: From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
You're the reason I believe in love
You're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
From this moment on

Wedding March Remix! Mendelssohn has no lyrics - we've all heard (or sung) "Here comes the bride, all dressed in white...." or something similar, but these are just the spontaneous creation of some unknown individual many decades ago, and never actually sung at a wedding.
There were lyrics sung to this melody in the opera Lohengrin by Wagner, but these were in German, and have not been translated in a way that sings well in English. Even if they did sing well, they might not be appropriate for a wedding recessional song, as things went downhill pretty quickly for the tragic heroine of the opera, Elsa, and her newly betrothed husband, Lohengrin.

Simple Gifts ('Tis A Gift To Be Simple)
Simple Gifts
'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves in the place just right
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight
When true simplicity is gain'd
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd
To turn, turn will be our delight
Till by turning, turning we come 'round right
Wikipedia offers more lyric option:
'Tis the gift to be loved and that love to return
'Tis the gift to be taught and a richer gift to learn
And when we expect of others what we try to live each day
Then we'll all live together and we'll all learn to say
(refrain)
'Tis the gift to have friends and a true friend to be
'Tis the gift to think of others not to only think of me
And when we hear what others really think and really feel
Then we'll all live together with a love that is real
(refrain)
Tis the gift to be loving, tis the best gift of all
Like a quiet rain it blesses where it falls
And with it we will truly believe
Tis better to give than it is to receive

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring Lyrics:
Jesu, joy of man's desiring
Holy wisdom, love most bright
Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of life impassioned
Striving still to truth unknown
Soaring, dying round Thy throne
Through the way where hope is guiding
Hark, what peaceful music rings
Where the flock, in Thee confiding
Drink of joy from deathless springs
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure
Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure
Thou dost ever lead Thine own
In the love of joys unknown

For The Beauty Of The Earth
For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the wonder of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child;
Friends on earth and friends above;
For all gentle thoughts and mild;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For Thy Church that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her pure sacrifice of love;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For Thyself, best gift divine,
To our race so freely given,
For that great, great love of Thine,
Peace on earth, and joy in heaven:
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.

Panis Angelicus Lyrics:
Panis angelicus
Fit panis hominum
Dat panis coelicus
Figuris terminum
O res mirabilis
Manducat Dominum
Pauper, pauper
Servus et humilis
Pauper, pauper
Servus et humilis
Panis angelicus
Fit panis hominum
Dat panis coelicus
Figuris terminum
O res mirabilis
Manducat Dominum
Pauper, pauper
Servus et humilis
Pauper, pauper
Servus, servus et humilis
An English translation of the Panis Angelicus lyrics from Wikipedia:
At this our solemn feast
let holy joys abound
and from the inmost breast
let songs of praise resound
let ancient rites depart
and all be new around
in every act and voice and heart.
Remember we that eve
when, the Last Supper spread
Christ, as we all believe
the Lamb, with leavenless bread
among His brethren shared
and thus the Law obeyed
of all unto their sire declared
The typic Lamb consumed
the legal Feast complete
the Lord unto the Twelve
His Body gave to eat
the whole to all, no less
the whole to each did mete
with His own hands, as we confess
He gave them, weak and frail
His Flesh, their Food to be
on them, downcast and sad
His Blood bestowed He
and thus to them He spake
"Receive this Cup from Me
and all of you of this partake."
So He this Sacrifice
to institute did will
and charged His priests alone
that office to fulfill
to them He did confide
to whom it pertains still
to take, and the rest divide.
Thus Angels' Bread is made
the Bread of man today
the Living Bread from heaven
with figures dost away
O wondrous gift indeed
the poor and lowly may
upon their Lord and Master feed
Thee, therefore, we implore
O Godhead, One in Three
so may Thou visit us
as we now worship Thee
and lead us on Thy way
That we at last may see
the light wherein Thou dwellest aye.

"I Was Glad When They Said Unto Me" lyrics, from Psalm 122:
I was glad when they said unto me, we will go into the house of the Lord.
Our feet shall stand in thy gates, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is builded as a city that is at unity in itself.
O pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls, and plenteousness within thy palaces.
