- Poem for Birth and Naming Ceremony
A gathering filled with an abundance of joy,
Where new beginnings are honoured and told,
In unison, we celebrate Eledumare’s precious gift,
A new child we have all come together to name.
A child of grace from Eledumare,
A gift that constantly renews of heart.
Blessed is He ELEDUMARE, the giver of new life,
Moulders of our destinies, to you alone we bow,
With humble hearts, we seek more of your grace,
To witness this child grow in size and wisdom.
A child of grace from Eledumare,
A gift that constantly renews of heart.
In line with your sacred rite, we name this child,
A name that attracts your ever presence and protection,
Oh, Eledumare the owner of all beautiful names,
Shine the light of guidance on the path of this new life.
A child of grace from Eledumare,
A gift that constantly renews of heart.
May this name attract Eledumare’s favours always,
Through life’s soft and tough seasons,
May it be the harbinger of courage, love, and hope,
Leading this sojourner through a life of fulfilment.
A child of grace from Eledumare,
A gift that constantly renews of heart.
Oh, ELEDUMARE, we pray only to thee,
As we bless this child with beautiful names today,
May their names be mentioned in places of favour and honour.
Bless all womb of those who look unto thee for this favour.
A child of grace from Eledumare,
A gift that constantly renews of heart.
