These things I promise I will do
That life may grant you am­ple grace
Be­cause I love and cher­ish you:

I vow to trea­sure what is true
That I might touch whom I embrace:
These things I promise I will do.

I’ll build a gar­den in your view
That with sweet fruit will stone replace
Be­cause I love and cher­ish you.

I vow to love each day anew,
For love must dance through time and space:
These things I promise I will do.

I vow to make your ter­rors few
And then with you those demons face
Be­cause I love and cher­ish you.

And now, as we make one of two,
A pas­sage we can­not retrace,
These things I promise I will do
