BAPTISMAL HYMN
[Written for a family christening.
Tune: Morning has Broken (Bunessan)]
New soul, we greet you,
God comes to meet you,
At your baptising
On this glad day.
Praise for the greeting,
Praise for the meeting,
Praise for God's blessing
On your life's way.
Safe in God's care now,
Safe as God's heir now,
Child of his children,
Loving and true.
As your days lengthen
May your faith strengthen,
May you be God's child
All your life through.
Yours be the blessing
God's love possessing,
In his protection,
Happy and strong.
All life before you,
Angels watch o'er you,
God go before you
All your life long.
