May the Lord bless you and keep you
May His light always shine upon you
And be gracious unto you
May He always be present with you
And give you peace
He will give you power and strength
For the future bright and blessed
Jesus said: “Come to me with your burdens
And I will give you rest”
He will protect you and keep you safe
From the dangers along the way
When you’re down He will comfort you
For His grace is new each day
New each day
Amen
