This is Amanda McKenna’s version of the blessing from Numbers 6:24-26. I don’t think I have heard it before but it dates from 1987. (The song not the blessing…it is somewhat older)
It is call and response but more thoughtful than most of those specimens as the response isn’t always the the same notes and there are unison sections as well.
The sheet music can be purchased at As One Voice. You can hear Amanda sing it at Sound Cloud.
(Solo) May the Lord Bless you and keep you.
(ALL) MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU.
(Solo) May His face shine upon you.
(ALL) MAY HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU.
(Solo) And be gracious.
(ALL) AND BE GRACIOUS .
AND BE KIND AND GRACIOUS TO YOU.
(Solo) May He look upon you with kindness.
(ALL) MAY HE LOOK UPON YOU WITH KINDNESS.
(Solo) And give you His peace.
(ALL) AND GIVE YOU HIS PEACE.
AND GIVE YOU HIS PEACE .
AMEN
