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
