About The Lord Bless You and Keep You

Words: Numbers 6:24 to 26 (King James Version), as Lutkin set them

Tune: Peter C. Lutkin (1900)

The Lord Bless You and Keep You is Peter C. Lutkin's choral blessing of 1900, set to the words of Numbers 6:24 to 26 in the King James Version. Lutkin was the first dean of Northwestern University's School of Music. Our arrangement is read from his own printing of 1900, in C, with every pitch as he wrote it, and checked against The Methodist Hymnal of 1905, where it is No. 748. It is for 4 singers: the blessing sung together, slow and smooth, then his sevenfold Amen, where the tenor comes in first, then the bass, the alto and the soprano, rising to the soprano's high G.
