Lyrics:

Verse —
The Lord bless you
And keep you
Make His face shine upon you
And be gracious to you
The Lord turn His
Face toward you
And give you peace
As we receive, we agree, amen

Chorus —
Amen, amen, amen

Verso — [en Español]
Dios te guarde y bendiga
Que extienda Su amor
Y te muestre favor
Dios te mire con agrado y te dé paz

Bridge —
May His favor be upon you
And a thousand generations
And your family and your children
And their children, and their children

May His presence go before you
And behind you, and beside you
All around you, and within you
He is with you, He is with you
