  Child of Blessing, Child of Promise (.mp3)

1
Child of blessing, child of promise, 
love's creation, love indeed! 
Fresh from God, refresh our spirits, 
into joy and laughter lead. 

2
Child of joy, our dearest treasure, 
God's you are, from God you came. 
Back to God we humbly give you, 
blessing you in Jesus' name.

3
Child of God, your loving Parent, 
learn to know whose child you are. 
Grow to laugh and sing and worship, 
trust and love God more than all.
