I know that many Lutherans use the Aaronic Benediction in their liturgy, but I was wondering if any Anglicans used it? It has been used in Jewish religious observances for (presumably) thousands of years.

May the Lord bless you and guard you
May the Lord shine His countenance toward you and be gracious to you –
May the Lord lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace' –
