I was looking for this prayer for all the birthdays I have been learning of lately. We used to say this in my church... I have always loved it. The persons celebrating would all gather up at the front and lay hands on each other, and be blessed by the priest and the whole congregation! For those of us without local family, it always felt extra special. "Watch over thy child, O Lord,as her days increase; bless and guide her wherever she may be. Strengthen her when she stands; comfort her when discouraged or sorrowful; raise her up if she fall; and in her heart may thy peace which passeth understanding abide all the days of her life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. from The Book of Common Prayer. #51 For a Birthday.
