   I think so. That’s always been one of my favourite hymns. I hear that Josh Groban sings a version, & his voice is just beautiful. Perfect for a wedding?

   Dan Schutte’s hymn? Why not? The inspiration for the hymn seems to be in the Psalms and in Isaiah 6:8
   “And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.’”
   1.
   I, the Lord of sea and sky,
   I have heard my people cry.
   All who dwell in dark and sin,
   My hand will save.
   Chorus
   Here am I, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
   I have heard you calling in the night.
   I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
   I will hold your people in my heart.
   2.
   I, who made the stars of night,
   I will make their darkness bright.
   Who will bear my light to them?
   Whom shall I send?
   Chorus
   3.
   I, the Lord of snow and rain,
   I have borne my people’s pain.
   I have wept for love of them.
   They turn away.
   Chorus
   4.
   I will break their hearts of stone,
   Give them hearts for love alone.
   I will speak my words to them.
   Whom shall I send?
   Chorus
   5.
   I, the Lord of wind and flame,
   I will send the poor and lame.
   I will set a feast for them.
   My hand will save.
   Chorus
   6.
   Finest bread I will provide,
   ‘Til their hearts be satisfied.
   I will give my life to them.
   Whom shall I send?
   Chorus

   Really, only your priest and person in charge of music can tell you that. I have found there are a LOT of variations between parishes and some are more progressive than others. It took a lot at our church to move beyond Ave Maria (predictable and BORING) but my friends priest allowed anything! Ask at your church!

   Yes.
   Being married is a vocation and a sacramental calling.
   Both you and your new husband are saying in one voice, “Here I am, Lord!”
   Congratulations!
   With love in Christ.

   It’s a wonderful hymn, but not really bridal.
   How about “Let me be your Servant” http://rockhay.tripod.com/worship/music/…

   Yes, it’s a lovely song. I love it, too. Talk to your priest about appropriate placement, though.

    Oh dear! It’s YOUR wedding! YOU are the one getting married to your husband! I say speak with your pastor. They will know the rules better than anyone on Yahoo!
