THUS MAY HE BLESS AND KEEP THEE

NUMBERS 6:24

The Lord bless thee!
How shall he bless thee?
With the gladness that knoweth no decay;
With the riches that cannot pass away;
With the sunshine that makes an endless day—
Thus may he bless thee!

And keep thee!
How shall he keep thee?
With the all-covering shadow of his wings;
With the strong love that guards from evil things;
With the sure power that safe to glory brings—
Thus may he keep thee!
