May God Bless Us and Keep Us
Based on the Aaronic blessing from Numbers 6:24, this simple song of blessing is written specifically for developing voices. A memorable lyrical structure and a supportive piano accompaniment help young singers easily catch and recall the melody, while a Discovery Page aids emerging music readers in identifying rhythmic patterns in the song.
Consider using “May God Bless Us and Keep Us” as a ritual song in rehearsal, a choral benediction for worship, or in a rotation of seasonal blessings. Also includes a part for six optional handbells or handchimes.
