Wonder of Wonders
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 5.5.5.4 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Blessing of Children First Line: Wonder of wonders Lyrics: 1 Wonder of wonders,
life is beginning,
fragile as blossom,
strong as the earth.
Shaped in a person,
love has new meaning.
Parents and people
sing at the birth.
2 Now with rejoicing,
make celebration;
joy full of promise,
laughter through tears.
Naming and blessing,
bring dedication,
humble in purpose
over the years.
3 Wisdom of ages,
new every morning,
Mother and Father,
Partner and Friend,
freeing, forgiving,
lift all our loving
into your presence,
joy without end. Used With Tune: BUNESSAN

Holy Spirit, Come with Power
Author: Ann Neufeld Rupp, 1932- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Blessing of Children Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, come with power:
breathe into our aching night.
We expect you this glad hour,
waiting for your strength and light.
We are joyful, we are eager,
yearning for your gracious deed;
rest upon your congregation:
give us power of God, we plead.
2 Holy Spirit, come with fire.
Burn us with your presence new.
Let us as one mighty choir
sing our hymn of praise to you.
Burn away our wasted sadness
and enflame us with your love;
burst upon our congregation.
Give us gladness from above.
3 Holy Spirit, bring your message;
burn and breathe each word anew
deep into our tired living
till we strive your work to do.
Teach us love and trusting kindness;
bare our arms to those who hurt;
breathe upon your congregation
and inspire us with your Word.
Scripture: Galatians 5:22-25 Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

Psalm 127
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Blessing of God on the business and comforts of life; Business of life blest; Children made blessings; Comfort of life blest; God all in all First Line: If God succeed not, all the cost Lyrics:
If God succeed not, all the cost
And pains to build the house are lost;
If God the city will not keep,
The watchful guards as well may sleep.
What if you rise before the sun,
And work and toil when day is done;
Careful and sparing eat your bread,
To shun that poverty you dread;
'Tis all in vain, till God hath blessed;
He can make rich, yet give us rest:
Children and friends are blessings too,
If God our Sovereign make them so.
Happy the man to whom he sends
Obedient children, faithful friends:
How sweet our daily comforts prove
When they are seasoned with his love!

Psalm 127
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Blessing of God on the business and comforts of life; Business of life blest; Children made blessings; Comfort of life blest; God all in all First Line: If God to build the house deny Lyrics:
If God to build the house deny,
The builders work in vain;
And towns, without his wakeful eye,
A useless watch maintain.
Before the morning beams arise,
Your painful work renew;
And till the stars ascend the skies,
Your tiresome toil pursue;
Short be your sleep, and coarse your fare;
In vain, till God has blessed;
But if his smiles attend your care,
You shall have food and rest.
Nor children, relatives, nor friends,
Shall real blessings prove;
Nor all the earthly joys he sends,
If sent without his love.
Scripture: Psalm 127
Psalm 127
Psalm 128
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 55 hymnals Topics: Children made blessings; Blessings of a family; Family blessings First Line: O happy man, whose soul is filled Lyrics:
O happy man, whose soul is filled
With zeal and reverent awe!
His lips to God their honors yield,
His life adorns the law.
A careful providence shall stand
And ever guard thy head,
Shall on the labors of thy hand
Its kindly blessings shed.
[Thy wife shall be a fruitful vine;
Thy children round thy board,
Each like a plant of honor shine,
And learn to fear the Lord.]
The Lord shall thy best hopes fulfil
For months and years to come;
The Lord, who dwells on Zion's hill,
Shall send thee blessings home.
This is the man whose happy eyes
Shall see his house increase;
Shall see the sinking church arise,
Then leave the world in peace.
Scripture: Psalm 128
