Olwen, I think the words are as follows
"I give you to the man you love upon your wedding day.
No tear of mine can mar your joy;
I send you on your way.
Grateful for the golden years when you belonged to me,
Treasuring within my heart each precious memory.
I'm losing you, my dear, but I am more than glad to know
That you have found your love, as I found mine long, long ago.
So goodbye my little girl; God keep you and God bless,
Granting you life's sweetest blessings: health and happiness."
I am a minister (formerly Church of Scotland and now living in Sweden) and these words were used at a wedding I conducted several years ago. The bride's mum had cut them out of a women's magazine in the 1940s.
