Lyrics
The Lord make his face shine upon you,
and be gracious to you.
The Lord lift up his countenance on you
and give you peace.
The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make his face shine upon you,

The Lord lift up his countenance on you
and give you peace.

About This Hymn
This traditional blessing is drawn directly from the priestly benediction given by God to Moses for Aaron and his sons, a blessing meant to be spoken over the people of Israel. The words carry a clear and comforting message of divine care. The Lord promises to bless His people, to keep them, to shine His face upon them, and to give them peace. This hymn has been cherished because it takes the inspired words of Scripture and presents them in a simple musical form that can be sung in worship, at the close of services, and during moments of spiritual reflection. Its enduring power lies in its direct use of Scripture, its message of security in the Lord, and its assurance that God Himself watches over His people with favor and compassion. This makes the hymn a treasured reminder that every believer lives under the care and peace that God alone provides.
