Praise the Lord our friend and King
Creator of heaven and earth.
Lift Him high as you cradle this child
This beautiful little miracle.
A precious jewel, unique and blessed
Has been given to you to hold.
We celebrate this little one
So new to this wonderful world.
Bless your baby from head to toe
With love and joy and health.
Bless their feeding with peaceful thoughts
Their sleep with lullabies and rest.
Bless their eyes as they start to see
Their smiles to ones that care.
Bless their ears as they hear the sounds
Of a loving family near.
Bless this precious beautiful one
For we have fallen in love.
A treasured bundle, uniquely made
A gift from heaven above.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
