A BLESSINGBased on 1 Thess 3:12–13 Christopher Willcock

Performance NotesThis is a setting of the Pauline blessing in 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13 and was designed to be sung by a choral group, either in unison or in two parts. The accompaniment is clearly written for the piano and would need to be adapted to be playable on the organ.
