O faithful God, you have
redeemed us;
into your hands we
commit our spirit.
As when our parents are
dying, we bring to them
our children and ask
them for a blessing,
so we come before you
now to ask--
God, bless our children.
Bless and protect them,
so that in their hearts
they may desire no evil,
and that they may commit
their lives to you.
