Toria Nance: A Clare Benediction

May the Lord show his mercy upon you;
May the light of his presence be your guide:
May he guard you and uphold you;
May his spirit be ever by your side.

When you sleep may his angels watch over you;
When you wake may he fill you with his grace:
May you love him and serve him all your days
Then in heaven may you see his face.

May the Lord's loving kindness surround you;
Keep you safe as you journey on your way:
May he lead you and inspire you
As he grants you the gift of each new day.

May he bless all your loved ones and cherish them;
Ev'ry friend, ev'ry stranger at your door:
In the name of his Son our Saviour Christ
May God bless you now and evermore.

Words and music written by John Rutter in 1998 to honor his alma mater Clare College, Cambridge University.

David - Bless you for sharing your talents. My soul was blessed. And yes, to God be the GLORY! Thank you Matt for ministering to the flock while we are not under the TAB roof. It has meant a lot.

Beautiful singing! I am singing this as a duet on Sunday at my Presbyterian church. This gives me a goal to strive for!

Where can I get this version of the music sheet?

The piano sound is far too loud relative to the solo voice. Despite the beautiful quality of her voice, she sounds remote covered by the expressionless piano sound.
