About “Der Herr Segne Dich”
The title means 'The Lord bless you,' and the song is not an original but the German version of 'The Blessing' by Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes and Elevation Worship, with a German text credited to Sebastian Bartram, Albert Frey and Johannes Hartl. Like the English original, it is a nearly word-for-word setting of the Aaronic blessing from Numbers 6:24-26. The Gebetshaus in Augsburg, the round-the-clock prayer house founded by Johannes Hartl, released this recording with vocalists Markus Fackler and Veronika Lohmer in spring 2020, at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, as a sung blessing over families, cities and the nation.
