Baptism Prayer For Boys and Girls
Lord to-day we come to you with joy in our hearts
As Evie’s journey of faith through life with God starts
Fill her with your faith, joy, peace and love
Please always watch over her from heaven above.
As members of Christ’s family we come to you in prayer
To take Evie into your world of love and care
As she takes her first steps on the road of faith
Please always bless her and keep her safe.
Evie is blessed with a sign of the cross you bore
Welcoming her to the family of Christ through the open door.
Bless her and her family, be with them always
To help her grow up as a child of God all of her days.
Bless her in her formative and teenage years
That she will grow in your love, free from strife and fears.
As she goes forward into her adult life
Guard and bless her through life’s toils and strife.
Help her to grow in your faith and love
Knowing you are always there looking down on her from above.
May she go through life as an instrument of your peace
May her love, joy and trust in you never cease
We now Baptise Evie with water from the eternal spring
As our gifts of love, hope, peace and welcome we bring
Let her be a beacon of your word, grace, truth and love
And light her way through life from heaven above.
Amen
