New child of God, come to be blessed, here in the Church, your life is claimed: signed with the cross of Jesus Christ, by word and water, you are named. In love and wonder you were made, a little lamb, like God's own Son, to you belongs this house of faith, in you will shine a hope begun. In air that's free, a land that's just, where children thrive and people care, where Christ is honored, not denied, may *aroha be yours to share. And as you grow, may you be led to know the Love who gave you light, to stretch and feel your spirit's wings, to trust, and like a bird take flight. *or "warmest love" (Maori word)
