Benediction Reading for Epiphany

 May the light of the glorious gospel of Christ
shine in our hearts, transform our lives,
and brighten the world.

And the blessing of God almighty,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
rest upon you always. Amen.

Churches that end each service with a benediction generally do so with a reading or recited blessing from a pastor or lay leader.  While the Church doesn’t have too many benediction songs, Sojourn ended with one on our Before the Throne CD: “All Good Gifts,” written by Michael Morgan.  The chord sheet is available in the Before the Throne section of this website (as are chord sheets for all the songs from that disc).
