The Fruit of Love

Author: Gregory E. Asimakoupoulos, 1952- Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #682 (2003) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Worship and Rejoice First Line: The fruit of love, the gift of life Lyrics: 1 The fruit of love, this gift of life, we place, O God, within your care. To know your grace and guiding hand in years to come is now our prayer. 2 This tender child is known by you, inclined to truth and evil too. Would you protect this one we love from sin and harm its whole life through? 3 A baby's future waits with hope enveloped with the Spirit's grace. Tomorrow's promise can be glimpsed within this infant's tiny face. 4 With humble joy we recognize a task that only has begun. A sacred charge lies in our arms to cradle faith and pass it on. 5 We praise you, Father, God alone. We praise you, Jesus, Son of love. And to the Spirit, Holy One, we sing our praise. Amen. Amen. Topics: Child Dedication Scripture: Colossians 3:21 Languages: English Tune Title: GIFT OF LOVE
