The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord lift His countenance upon you,
And give you peace, and give you peace;
The Lord make His face to shine upon you,
And be gracious, and be gracious;
The Lord be gracious, gracious unto you.

This is the well-known choral benediction setting of the Aaronic blessing from Numbers 6. While the text is biblical, the musical arrangement and common attribution for the hymn form is to Peter C. Lutkin (1858-1931). Some sources list it as anonymous or traditional, but Lutkin is the primary associated composer/arranger.
