Great hymn or song for a baby bereavement service

Fleetingly known

( to the tune of “ Morning has broken”.)

Fleetingly known, yet ever remembered

These are our children, now and always;

These whom we see not, we will forget not,

Morning and evening, all of our days.

Lives that touched our lives, tenderly, briefly

Now in the one light living always

Named in our hearts now, safe from all harm now

We will remember all of our days.

As we recall them, silently name them,

Open our hearts Lord, now and always

Grant to us grieving love for the living,

Strength for each other all of our days.

Safe in your peace Lord hold these our children;

Grace, light and laughter grant them each day

Cherish and hold them till we may name them

When to your glory we find a way.
