Blessing His Beloved

"The Lord bless thee, and keep thee. The Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace" (Numbers 6:24-26). "The Lord hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation. This is My rest forever... I will abundantly bless her provision" (Psalm 132:13-15). "One thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken from her" (Luke 10:42).

The Lord delights to bless His own,
On whom He shines His face.
His sovereign will upon His throne
Secures for them His grace.

The Lord has chosen as His rest
His own by their decision.
Abundantly for them He's blessed
His merciful provision.

This is all we really need:
To give to God our heart,
As Mary gladly gave Him heed
And chose the better part.

Lord, we thank You for Your love
That blessed us with salvation
By our Savior from above
Through His humiliation!
