As Bright As A Rose : Lyrics
As bright as a rose at summer’s first dawn,
Each new child brings joy and delight,
Join with us in celebrating,
Their baptism, Christian naming rite.
With water of Life poured on your head,
A flower to bloom needs sap to live,
So dear child empow’red with God’s love;
Shine bright, your love reflects that gift.
Spirit of God, intense as the sun,
With oil anoint this precious child,
Holy perfume their mind inspire,
That their talents shall serve God’s will.
The symbol of Christ, a candle of light,
In fear’s dark dale, God’s light shines
Like spring’s fair blossoms lift the heart,
Trinity’s holy gift for you.
