Original text and translations

English text

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.
