The Benediction Then shall the Minister say: Bow your hearts to God, and receive the Benediction. The Lord bless thee, and keep thee. The Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The Minister shall turn to the Altar, and the Congregation shall sing: Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany Seasons. The Service shall close with silent prayer, while the Congregation remains standing and the Minister kneels before the Altar. |
