Be to Thee forever dear.

Send the blessing, send the blessing
On Thy children gathered here;
Send the blessing, send the blessing,
Grant us all Thy love and cheer.

Didst vouchsafe a child to be,
Guide their steps and help their weakness,
Bless, and make them like to Thee. [Refrain]

Grant Thy Spirit from above;
Be their shield, and go before them,
Give them peace and joy and love. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 28:9 Tune Title: [Holy Father, send thy blessing]
