When Spotify played this song, I am working in the garden, and the sun just beautifully dyed everything with such a warm and golden tone. I have to stop and sing this song.
So far, this is my favorite version, and it reminds me not only the days as a soprano in college chorus, but also how blessed I am with my life now.
May the Lord
Show His mercy upon you;
May the light
Of His presence be your guide:
May He guard you and uphold you;
May His Spirit be ever by your side.
When you sleep,
May His angels watch over you;
When you wake,
May He fill you with His grace:
May you love Him
And serve Him all your days.
Then in heaven
May you see His face.
May the Lord's loving kindness surround you;
Keep you safe as you journey on your way:
May he lead you and inspire you
As he grants you the gift of each new day.
May he bless all your loved ones and cherish them;
Every friend, every stranger at your door:
In the name of his Son our Saviour Christ
May God bless you now and evermore.
