Michael Mangan closes out his album Setting Hearts on Fire appropriately, with a lovely song for farewell and benediction based on Numbers 6.
The sheet music can be purchased at Litmus, where you can buy CDs and even proper backing tracks. He has also kindly put up his lyrics there.
If you are thinking he is just for schools and young people it is worth noting he has seven songs in CWB2, which is more than nearly everyone Australian except Christoper Willcock and maybe one or two others.
My backing follows the music with the second verse repeated with a key change.
Song of Blessing

And live in God’s own peace.
Amen, Amen, Amen.
