Given in Marriage Unto Thee - meaning Summary
Spiritual Marriage and Eternity
The poem presents a devotional pledge: the speaker is given in marriage to a divine triune presence, addressing Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as the true betrothed. Earthly bonds and human will are transient, but the speaker insists that the sacred ring — a symbol of covenant held by God — secures an immortal union that transcends decay and conquers mortality. It frames spiritual union as permanent and salvific.
