As the droplets of water
are placed upon you,
You are wrapped in
God's precious love,
May He bless, guide
and protect you,
Keeping you safe, healthy
and happy from above.
God bless you little angel...
Wording #2
Welcome, precious little child
So fresh from God above
Christened today in Jesus' name,
Held in His arms of love.
May angels guide your tiny
feet
And bring you smiles to wear,
And may our Heavenly Father
Always keep you in His care.
Wording #3
The Lord will always walk with you,
along life’s blessed beach.
His footprints there beside your own,
always within reach.
Two sets of footprints, side by
side,
from dawn to setting sun.
Yet there may come a day my child,
when you’ll see only one.
But do not think the Lord has left
you,
nothing could be more wrong.
It’s just that He has picked you up,
to carry you along.

Wording #4
I'll walk in the rain by your side,
I'll do anything to keep you satisfied,
I'll love you more than anybody can.
And the wind will whisper your
name to me,
Little birds will sing along in time,
Leaves will bow down when you walk by,
And morning bells will chime.
I'll be there when you're feeling
down,
To kiss away the tears when you cry,
I'll share with you all the happiness I've found,
A reflection of the love in your eyes.
And I'll sing you a song
of the rainbow,
A whisper of the joy that is mine,
Leaves will bow down when you walk by,
And morning bells will chime.

The Sacrament of Baptism
O God, our heavenly Father, grant that this child,
as he/she grows in years, may also
grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus
Christ,
and that by the restraining and renewing influence
of the Holy Spirit he/she may ever be a true child of
thine, serving thee faithfully all of his/her days.
So guide and uphold the parents of this child that by
giving care, wise counsel, and holy example, they
may lead him/her into that life of faith whose strength
is righteousness and whose fruit is everlasting joy
and peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Lord, teach me all that I should know:
In grace and wisdom I may grow;

Build me a son, O Lord,
who will be strong enough to know when he is weak,
and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid,
one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat,
and humble and gentle in victory.

May God grant you always
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel
so nothing can harm you,
Laughter to cheer you,
Faithful friends near you,
And whenever you pray,
Heaven to hear you.

Why God Created Little Girls
God made our world from a great shining star
And filled it with marvelous things,
Like shadows and rainbows and dimples and bees
And dreams that come true of wishes.
But He needed something special
and dear
To make all He'd created worthwhile,
To sing songs, pick flowers, be dainty, be sweet,
To dance and sing and giggle and wink,
So God made the world Little Girls.
Whom forever He will cherish
and love
For of all His creatures in Heaven and Earth,
He sees in a Little Girl's eyes,
The wonder and glory of Paradise.
Wording #11
Why God Created Little Boys
God made a world out of His dreams
of majestic mountains, oceans and streams,
prairies and plains and wooded land,
then paused and thought...
"I need someone to stand
on top of the mountains, to conquer the seas,
explore the plains and climb the trees.
Someone to start out small
and grow sturdy and strong like a tree,"
and so...
He created boys, full of spirit
and fun,
to explore and conquer, to romp and run,
with dirty faces and banged up chins,
with courteous hearts and boyish grins.
When He had completed the
task He'd begun,
He surely said, "That's a job well done."
Wording #12
There is nothing to compare
to the miracle of birth
Few words to share
that will equal it's worth.
In the twinkle of an eye
a new life is formed.
And for a lifetime
a mother's heart is warmed.
In your beginning
a dream coming true.
Open arms awaiting
a miracle such as you.

Day by day, dear Lord, of Thee
Three things I pray:
To see Thee more clearly,
To love Thee more dearly,
To follow Thee more nearly,
Day by day.

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil,
For thine is the kingdom,
And the power, and the glory,
Forever and ever.
Amen |
