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
first time I listened this anthem was in 2005 Xmas night , a opening service of a new chapel, the choir singed it in Chinese. Half a year later I decided to get baptized.
In my church, this was called “the seven-fold amen” and we knew it so well that our choir director would just say “close with the seven fold amen.” I loved it then and still do. So 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.
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.
My father directed the Choirs at First English Lutheran Church in Oshkosh, Wisconsin for many years. I grew up singing in those Choirs and yes, The Lutkin Benediction was sang after each Service from the Church Narthex. Listening to this performance gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for rekindling wonderful memories. Roy Lewis
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!
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. ❤❤❤❤
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. 🇵🇭
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,
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!
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.
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
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.
Omg your guys video is my favorite of this piece ever you guys sound so good. We are singing this for are choir festival and im so excited. Im a soprano and the soprano's in this sound so good but everyone truly sounds amazing
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.
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
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.

I agree, & thank you for sharing boldly. I would also add, for clarification, that repentance is necessary for salvation: "And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:38 "No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." Luke 13:3 "From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”" Matt 4:17 "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." 2 Peter 3:9 "As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us. For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death." 2 Cor 7:9-10 Etc... Blessings and Merry Christmas!
@@ORSkie Thank you, beloved. A very blessed Christmas to you in Christ Jesus the Lord and Savior. It is repentance in action receiving the Gospel and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The faithful life proves it. There are falls as well according to 1 John 1:5-10; 2:1-2. Saving faith is born out within first and at that moment salvation occurs by the introduction of God the Holy Spirit sealing a saved sinner as Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We receive the baptism of God the Holy Spirit immediately which seals us in Christ and that is permanent! Ephesians chapter 1: verse 13-14. Repentance is NOT an act needed for God to save. Salvation is immediate upon belief. God knows His own.
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'.
Caroline Byrd would it be possible for you to send it to me via google drive? I want to put it in our weekly prerecorded worship video that I put together in Final Cut Pro X
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! 🙏🏼
pianogus there are different arrangements of that. When the church choir I sang in years ago hired a new music director, he decided to shelve the Lutkin and bring in another arrangement. Don’t remember the composer but in my opinion it was horrible. I can read music and just couldn’t get the alto line.
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 :-)

We sang this every Sunday morning at the end of our Chapel service at Middlebury College too! It is a decades-long tradition by now. Thank you.
Truly, it was a glimpse into the celestial, where every voice blended perfectly to praise and uplift the spirit.
Heavenly voice. So sweet to hear with clear clarity of words. God bless you all
What a beautiful rendition of the "The Lord Bless You and Keep You" (arr. by P. Lutkin). Thank you!
