Love Knows No Limit
The Rose and the Thistle
Lyrics by Barry Fantoni and Barry Booth
Love knows no limit to its endurance; no end to its trust.
Love still stands when all else has fallen.
This day I marry my friend;
The one I laugh with, live for, dream with, and love
As marriage brings new meaning to our love;
So love brings new meaning to our life.
Witness here this union of man and wife.
lyrics by Barry Booth
Life’s shadows mask
The rose and the thistle
For hope is a budding
In shadows we dream.
The thorn of forgiving
In sweetness of praying;
The promise of fruit
When the blossom has gone;
The bidding of bells
To a feast held in light
To ask to rename
The rose and the thistle.
The rose and the thistle,
Their stems are as one.
