O CHILD"Song of Life"
O CHILD
"Song of Life"
O Child, you are from God
and he loves you eternally.
He formed you in the womb,
you’re the gift of God's love.
In the springtime of your life
you will grow and laugh and play:
May the peace of Christ be yours
through the love of each day.
The years will follow on
from springtime to summertime;
your world can bloom with joy
in the light of God’s love.
You will glorify the Lord
when you walk along the Way:
May the peace of Christ be yours
through the love of each day.
God’s favour rest with you
through the years of your autumn time;
leaves red and brown and gold
tell the tale of your days.
And the wisdom of the Lord
be in all you do and say:
May the peace of Christ be yours
through the love of each day.
Fear not the darkened skies
when you come to the winter time;
Jesus’ birth at Bethlehem
is the promise of spring.
All the ages hear God's word
that the Easter day will come
when the peace of Christ is ours,
joy eternal our home.
