Look kindly on my child... so marvelously made fashioned by you in the womb. Keep fear and trouble far away and any hand raised to harm this child of mine And when life's storm come, give my child rest as on a mother's breast. In days to come, which you alone know, grant my child faith for seeing far, a loving heart for welcoming life, hope that never despairs and a place always at your side.
O God, I thank you for this precious gift and I pray my child grows wise and well. |
