PSALM LXVII.
HAVE mercy on us, Lord,And bless us from above;Oh! let Thy face unclouded shine,With beams of light and love.
Grant, Lord, that all the earthMay with Thy light be blessed,And every clime, from pole to pole,In Thee find peace and rest.
Let every nation joinTo praise Thy holy Name,And every heart and every voiceConspire to swell the strain.
Oh, sing for joy! He comesOn earth once more to reign;And 'neath His sway the world shall riseTo life and light again.
Let every nation joinTo praise His holy Name,And every voice and every landConspire to swell the strain.
Oh! then the earth shall yieldTo us her full increase,And God, our God, shall bless the landWith endless joy and peace.
Yea, God shall bless, and lo!The darkness melt away;All nations fear His Name, and riseTo light and endless day.
