"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). "Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, Thou shalt purge them away. Blessed is the man whom Thou choosest, and causest to approach unto Thee, that he may dwell in Thy courts" (Psalm 65:3,4). "Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18).
How
blissfully the blessing flows
From
God to those who seek His face,
Extending
peace that He bestows
Upon
the souls He saves by grace.
The
Lord has found a way to bless,
Though
our iniquities abound,
Imputing
His own righteousness
And
purging sins no longer found.
How
blest we are that Christ would choose
For
our sakes to be sacrificed!
How
blindly does a soul refuse
The
gift of God through Jesus Christ!
Your
blissful blessing, Lord, exceeds
The
limits of our contemplation,
Yet
as Your gracious Spirit leads,
We
grow in grace and adoration.
