The Lord bless you
And keep you
Make His face shine upon you
And be gracious to you
The Lord turn His
Face toward you
And give you peace

Amen, amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen

May His favor be upon you
And a thousand generations
And your family and your children
And their children, and their children

May His presence go before you
And behind you, and beside you
All around you, and within you
He is with you, He is with you

In the morning, in the evening
In your coming, and your going
In your weeping, and rejoicing
He is for you, He is for you

The Blessing

Musical genius AR Rahman (known also as 'Mozart of Madras') composed the original song and the text for a Tamil movie "Sivaji" capturing vividly the memories of his homeland and culture. 
The Chorus of the Mar Thoma Church at Singapore has sung the Christmas version "Halleluiah Balleilakka" adapted and translated into Malayalam by Rahela Padachira, while retaining the original score with the SATB arrangement from Ethan Sperry.
A breathtaking, joyous celebration of the Gift of Lord Jesus Christ. 
The track is prepared by Nithin K Abraham, and the chorus conducted by Anil John.

Halleluiah Balleilakka

Singing the Halleluiah Chorus is a delight for every chorister. Taken from Revelations 19:6, Handel composed this in 1741 as a part of Messiah, when all his projects had failed, his music had become outdated and others had declared his inspiration was "exhausted".
