The Wedding Song, Paul Stookey, Original Audio Recording in 1970 (Video)


This is the original audio recording of Noel Paul Stookey’s song, The Wedding Song as first recorded in 1970.

I have a couple of videos of Paul Stookey singing the Wedding Song on my Peter Paul and Mary play list but this has always been a favorite rendition by many people including myself.

Here are the words:

He is now to be among you at the calling of your hearts Rest assured this troubadour is acting on His part. The union of your spirits, here, has caused Him to remain For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name There is Love, there is Love.

A man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home And they shall travel on to where the two shall be as one. As it was in the beginning is now and til the end Woman draws her life from man and gives it back again. And there is Love, there is Love.

Well then what’s to be the reason for becoming man and wife? Is it love that brings you here or love that brings you life? And if loving is the answer, then who’s the giving for? Do you believe in something that you’ve never seen before? Oh there is Love, there is Love.

Oh the marriage of your spirits here has caused Him to remain For whenever two or more of you are gathered in His name There is Love, there is Love.
