The God of Peace
John A. Behnke's arrangement of a text by Stephen P. Starke set for SATB, organ, and optional flute.
A text by Stephen P. Starke set for SATB, organ, and optional flute by John A. Behnke. The text calls us to go forth with God’s blessing with each new life challenge. The music is memorable and would be especially appropriate for a farewell or retirement celebration, graduations, and other send-off occasions.
The God of peace, who raised with pow’r
The Shepherd of the sheep,
Go with you from this place and hour,
Your path to bless and keep.
May He equip you with the grace
To know and do His will,
To meet each challenge you may face
With faith and love and skill.
The God who gave you to us here,
Endowing us through you,
Now guide you in each coming year
In all you say and do.
Lord Jesus Christ, our life and light,
The Savior we adore,
To You be glory, wisdom, might,
Both now and evermore!
