Lyrics
The Lord bless you
And keep you
Make His face shine upon you
And be gracious to you
The Lord turn His
Face toward you
And give you peace
Amen
May His favor be upon you
And a thousand generations
And your family
And your children
And their children
And their children
May His presence go before you
And behind you
And beside you
All around you
And within you
He is with you
He is with you
In the morning
In the evening
In your coming
And your going
In your weeping
And rejoicing
He is for you
He is for you
He is for you

Meaning & Inspiration
The Blessing centers on words of divine favor, protection, grace, and peace. Its opening closely follows the priestly blessing in Numbers, turning that biblical benediction into a communal declaration. The repeated Amen gives the song a prayerful shape, while the language about the Lord turning his face toward his people emphasizes care rather than distance. The global choir setting also suits the lyric, since one shared blessing is voiced across many communities.
The later lines extend the prayer toward families and future generations. They picture God present before, behind, beside, around, and within his people, then carry that assurance through morning and evening, arrival and departure, sorrow and rejoicing. This language does not promise an absence of hardship; instead, it affirms divine nearness throughout changing circumstances. The repetition of He is for you provides the central assurance, presenting blessing as enduring presence, peace, and favor that reach beyond a single moment.
