787. May the Lord, mighty God

1 May the Lord, mighty God,
bless and keep you for ever;
grant you peace, perfect peace,
courage in every endeavour.

2 Lift up your eyes and see his face
full of grace for ever;
may the Lord, mighty God,
bless and keep you for ever.

Descant for verse 2:
Lift up and see his face,
his grace for ever;
may the Lord, mighty God,
bless and keep you for ever.
