The Lord Bless You and Keep You (arr. Peter C. Lutkin) 

I love this song so much! My classical Christian college sings this song every end of the year, and I have my part memorized! I also sang it one time in high school as well. Thanks so much, it sounds great!

Beautiful harmony. ❤

I never get tired of hearing this piece. Thanks!

Wow !! What a moving performance. Surely, the standard has now been set.

Ahhhhh! We sang this song at the end of each Sunday service in the church I grew up in. Still gives me chills. Thank you for keeping this song alive. Kari Jobe and Cody Karnes version that has exploded worldwide this year is also great, but this one will be a part of me forever.

I remember singing this song in high school. I would cry every time we sang it. I didn’t know then that it was the presence of God. It still makes my eyes water

This benediction transports me through time and space to fifty years of services at Calvary Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. from singing it in the Children's Choir to hearing it sung by the choir as an adult. Pete C. Lutkin (arrangement) was a genius. My absolute favorite way to end a service sending you out to face the world in joy and peacefulness!

Some slightly intense camera eye contact, but sounds beautiful.

The voices of these young men and women are pure and natural. I can distinctively hear each vocal group. Love the way the groups are mingled. It provides a blended sound. The harmony is beautiful. Have listened to this video several times, and have never heard this song sung better. Well done.

Such beautiful Voices❤❤

One of the most beautiful anthems around. Our Choir sang this today at Mass. Glorious

Beautiful. To God goes the Glory! Amen.

Lady in red is amazing

The benediction sounds beautiful. The Lord bless you and keep you and the sevenfold amen.

Everything's perfect. Reminds me of my choir days when I was alto 1 and my eldest sister was soprano 1. This was one of the songs that we used to sing at our local church. One of the best of acapella renditions I've ever heard. Love from the Philippines. 🇵🇭

Beautiful, musical performance. Thanks for including the "gag reel"...that was awesome!

I will pray for your ministry. You are Bible blessed passing on to us it's truth in genuine praise. Jesus sang praises to His Father with His disciples at His last supper on earth. Psalms 113-118. There is a crown in Heaven awaiting all who share (sow) the Gospel of Jesus Christ ( "THE GOSPEL SAVES" below) .1 Thessalonians chapter 2:verse 19; Philippians chapter 4:verse 1 We are ready! Ready to meet our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ in the air. John chapter 14: verse 1-3; Titus chapter 2:verses 11 -14; Rev.chapter 3:verse 10; 1 Thessalonians chapter 5:verse 9 . - This praise resounds across the earth in gentle movements, lighting the skies, dark clouds cover, adding to the glory to God, the light of His truth awakens. "Jesus is Lord and only He saves". - 2 Samuel chapter 22: Verse 50 "Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, out of the countries, and I will praise your name." - THE GOSPEL SAVES! - God the Son (Jesus Christ) has given us the gospel to share with the world. - Mark chapter 16: Verse 15: And He said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. - How can anyone hear the "good" news? Romans chapter 10: verse 17 Then faith comes from hearing and hearing the word of God. - Isaiah chapter 7: verse 14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day ! "HE IS RISEN" Matthew chapter 28: verse 6 - Isaiah chapter 53: verse 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. - IT IS FOUNDED UPON GOD'S LOVE FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED - John chapter 3: Verse 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans chapter 3: verse 23 - " For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans chapter 6: verse 23 - " Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.."John chapter 14.verse 6 - "1 Corinthians chapter 15: verse 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" - THE PAYMENT BY HIS BLOOD FOR ALL SINS EVER! - And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John chapter 2: verse 2 - Romans chapter 5:verse 8 But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him." - “For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians chapter 5:verse 21. - " In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;." Ephesians chapter 1:verse 7 - Matthew chapter 26:verse 28 "For this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (the life is in the blood. He had to pay with His life) - "And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Hebrews chapter 9:verse 22 - BY GOD'S GRACE ALONE THROUGH FAITH ALONE IN JESUS CHRIST ARE WE SAVED - Ephesians chapter 2:verse 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast. - Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting in His death and in the shedding of His blood as payment for our sins, as well as in His resurrection from the dead, and we will be saved! - WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH - Romans 10: 9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart man believes in righteousness; And a confession by mouth is given for salvation. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. - TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST AND BE SEPARATE FROM GOD FOREVERMORE - Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John chapter 3: verse 16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death". Revelation chapter 21: verse 8. - Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ”Romans chapter 5:verse 1

Also this song is dedicated to all people and all families who are suffering during this Coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic, also to the frontliners who help out all people during this Coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic. May God continue to bless us all. And that hopefully in God's time the Coronavirus pandemic will end soon ASAP.

Truly, it was a glimpse into the celestial, where every voice blended perfectly to praise and uplift the spirit.

The only i.provement i can think of...is that standing up you have more power and diaphragm control. Sitting down u naturally fold your abdomen and somewhat Fight that position.

The whole song was great but… “The Lord be gracious. GRAcious unto you.” That GRA was perfect.

The Lord bless you and keep you The Lord make his face to shine up on you To shine up on you and be gracious And be gracious unto you The Lord bless you and keep you The Lord make his face to shine up on you To shine up on you and be gracious And be gracious unto you The Lord lift up the light Of his countenance up on you The Lord lift up the light Of his countenance up on you And give you peace And give you peace And give you peace And give you peace Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen

Miss Ward taught us this sonng in h.s. southfield lathrup. This is from a scripture in Numbers..the o.t. Bible.

Too dope :)

Ried. Sorry I dont speak Yiddish while I'm on knee pads. Pleeeeeez take care of ME

Man. I was really hoping for a C2 at the end there lol

Harmony is good. But no feeling. Like you are singing to a click track.

Thank you

Good job guys... God bless you all...

One of the best version! Thanks! You guys rock

Do you have the sheet music for this SATB? I would like to teach this hymn too. Awesome job!

Its my school song and I miss them all greatly and wish I could go back and take more classes. I loved them all there. You did a good work here. Thank you,

Awesome job!!!! I love your voice. Keep up the good work.

Don't you love it when the locomotive comes in on top of the pitchpipe?

Tenors - how about starting the song on the note that is written - E - the third of the chord. You started on the G above that and then sang something not written on the word 'bless'.

I was part of the Youth Choir in Mdantsane Seventh Day Adventist Church and sang Tenor. We started adding this song as part of our repertoire in 2000. It still hits the same way I started practicing it in the year 2000. ❤❤❤❤

Lol. And wait. Its getting even deeper.

Caroline, may I have permission to use this in our worship service (in person and live streamed)? I would give proper credit of course.

Beautiful I hope you dont mind me using this arrangement?

What a beautiful rendition of the "The Lord Bless You and Keep You" (arr. by P. Lutkin). Thank you!

One of the best versions I have heard 💕🙏💕

Im home from my 40th high school reunion, where the attending members of our Concert Choir were called upfront (unbeknownst to them) to sing this song. We did OK considering the years that had passed........ our director had us sing at a slightly quicker tempi, tho. Still warms my heart to hear anyone sing it. You all sound great! xoxo

#EXCELLENT! #RECOMMENDED -- VERY WELL DONE!

Glory to God

I love how they’re all clearly friends at the end. Their voices are so beautiful and clear, they hit the mark so closely that you forget that they’re humans with feelings. They’re just a group of friends that happen to be really, _really_ good at singing. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing basses and alto

Beautifully done!❤

Arrangement by P. C. Lutkin?🤔🤦🏻‍♂️Nice singing, though! I like to pick up the tempo a bit more in the amens section. Thanks for making this available! 🙏🏼

Nicely sung...but this is not an arrangement of someone else's work - Peter Lutkin composed this. You perhaps mean it is a "setting" of these words. Credit where it's due :-)

💜

I love this song!

Caroline I am a Pastor in Fairfax, VA is it possible for me to use this video in worship?

I tried this master piece in our diocese seminary for Pastor's day... I always show everyone this video since I find this video has a good capture of all 4 voices.

This is awesome!! Thank you from Panama
