A Baptism Hymn
Tune: All Things Bright and Beautiful
This was written by Ally Barrett based on a conversation with the parents about their hopes and prayers for their baby.
Bless this water, bless this child,
Upon this joyful day:
Bless us as we gather here
and lead us on our way.
We hear your voice from heaven,
speak blessings from above,
such words of affirmation,
encouragement and love.
Your faith in us is stronger
than we can ever know,
You see our true potential,
and guide us as we grow.
You give us light in darkness,
and hope when we despair,
You strengthen us in weakness
and hold us in your care.
We pray for peace and purpose,
for happiness and fun,
for health of mind and body,
till life’s adventure’s done.
