Meditations on Aaronic Bliss (Numbers 6:22-27)

May the Lord bless you and keep you,
That faithfulness will mark all your ways,
That in the small and slim design
You will obey the Lord sublime.

May the Lord make his face to shine upon you,
That loveliness might be redefined in Him:
Beauty that is without measure -
An all surpassing treasure.

And may He be gracious unto you,
Who apart from Him can do nothing,
Who even in your rebellion against Him
Require His lifegiving Spirit to sin.

May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you
as a child of His covenant, forever true,
as one adopted out of the blackest dark
In love, on a journey of liberty, embark!

And may He give you peace -
Not appeasement that is a vapor mist
Nor blind hope that there’s something better still
But eternal peace who is Christ that never fails.
