THE BLESSING


May the God of peace Himself sanctify you
May your spirit, soul and body be kept sound
May your lives be wholly blameless
At the coming of our Lord Jesus
For He who calls you is faithful and is true
He understands you
He fills you with peace
He's closer to you than breathing, allelu

May the God of mercy Himself now anoint you
May your minds be open to the brilliance of His light
May your lives be wholly blameless
At the coming of our Lord Jesus
For He who calls you is faithful and is true
He understands you
He fills you with peace
He's closer to you than breathing, allelu
