"And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying... On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, 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. And they shall put My name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them" (Numbers 6:22-27).
What wonderful words of blessing we hear
Declared to the people that God would bring near.
The bliss of this blessing was not through the Law,
Which never could bless, but condemn every flaw.
The bliss of God's blessing belongs to the saved
By the mercy of God, from our nature depraved.
In Christ is our blessing, our keeping, and grace!
In Christ is our peace by the light of His face!
