This brief choral blessing begins with “The Lord bless you and keep you” and finishes with a highly developed “Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come . . .” with a stretchedout ending that decreases to pianissimo. Use it at the end of a service, or at the end of Advent lessons and carols, or at Advent vespers.
