A Blessing at Birth

A Blessing at Birth


A tiny precious gift from heaven breathed into our world today,

Intricately knit together, God’s own wonder on display.

Soft as petals framed in starlight, fragile as the morning dew,

Gentle as a feather floating in a sky of pink and blue.


May the Lord of heaven warm you; may he ever keep you whole.

May his light that never falters shine upon your waking soul.

May your laughter rise like music, clear and ringing through the years,

May the arms that now enfold you, ever hold you up in prayer.


May you walk where mercy blossoms, dream beneath God’s gentle hand,

growing wise with holy wonder, following his perfect plan.

May your tears be met with kindness; may your joys be limitless.

May your heart, in every season, find the strength to love and bless.


May he who blessed the little children, hold you tightly all your days

May your name be ever spoken with thanksgiving, love, and praise.

May the peace of Jesus guard you, may you always know his Word,

May the Spirit always guide you; may his voice be always heard.
