The Baptism Blessing
Thou Being who inhabitest the heights Imprint Thy blessing betimes, Remember Thou the child of my body, In Name of the Father of peace; When the priest of the King On him puts the water of meaning, Grant him the blessing of the Three Who fill the heights. The blessing of the Three Who fill the heights. Sprinkle down upon him Thy grace, Give Thou to him virtue and growth, Give Thou to him strength and guidance, Give Thou to him flocks and possessions, Sense and reason void of guile, Angel wisdom in his day, That he may stand without reproach In Thy presence. He may stand without reproach In Thy presence.
