A Father's Blessing

Blessing for Josanna

May the Lord increase in all you are,
His grace be where you start,
May your beauty be of His design,
Wonderfully knit at every part.
That your parents' love remain always pure,
And you forever beloved,
With many a brother and sister too,
Whom the Lord is Father of.
That His Truth would be radiant sun,
Lighting your journeys far and wide,
Traversing oceans and many nations,
Forever in His love you'll abide.
That His faithfulness outlast the darkest night,
A rock that cannot be moved,
Let the furnace of trial warm your love,
And from your soul all fear remove.
May Jehovah be your God, O Josie Mei,
The Lord of Heaven and Earth,
Your mommy and daddy eagerly await,
The wondrous day of your birth.
