Author: Henry F Lyte 1793-1847
God of mercy, God of grace,
show the brightness of your face:
shine upon us, Saviour, shine,
fill your church with light divine;
and your saving health extend
to the earth’s remotest end.
2. Let the people praise you, Lord;
be by all that live adored:
let the nations shout and sing
glory to their Saviour King;
at your feet their tribute pay,
and your holy will obey.
3. Let the people praise you, Lord;
earth shall then her fruits afford,
God to man his blessing give,
man to God devoted live;
all below, and all above,
one in joy and light and love.
