[The threefold blessing Israel heard]

‘The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.’— Num. vi. 24-26.

The threefold blessing Israel heard
Three thousand years ago,
God grant it may on thee to-day
In power and fulness flow;
That Light and Peace in grand increase
All through the year may glow.
