The Priestly Blessing for the Unborn Child

Little unborn one,

The Lord bless you

And keep you.

May He keep you close

To His love;

Keep you under

His constant care;

Keep you growing

According to His perfect design.

The Lord make

His face to shine on you.

In the dim quiet of the womb

May His countenance glow upon you

With glory and grace.

The Lord give you peace.

Full shalom be yours,

Little one—

The prospering of your whole self,

The serenity of your growing mind.
