1. God of mercy, God of grace,
  the brightness of Thy face;
  Shine upon us, Saviour, shine,
  Fill Thy Church with light divine,
  And Thy saving health extend
  Unto earth’s remotest end.

2. Let the people praise Thee, Lord!
  Be by all that live adored;
  Let the nations shout and sing
  Glory to their Saviour King,
  At Thy feet their tribute pay,
  And Thy holy will obey.

3. Let the people praise Thee, Lord!
  Earth shall then her fruits afford,
  God to man His blessings give,
  Man to God devoted live;
  All below and all above
  One in joy and light and love.
