Blest Be the Lord | Dan Schutte | Catholic Choir w/Lyrics | Hymn of Mercy and Trust

“Blest Be the Lord” by Dan Schutte is a joyful Catholic hymn based on Psalm 91, proclaiming our confidence in the God of mercy who saves, shelters His people, and frees them from fear. Its memorable refrain and reassuring verses invite us to trust God through darkness, danger, temptation, and every uncertain season of life. On this Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Jesus teaches through the parable of the unforgiving servant that those who receive God’s abundant mercy must also forgive others from the heart; together, hymn and Gospel call us to praise the Lord for His saving compassion and allow that mercy to flow through us. Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir.
