[verse 1] HAve mercy on us, Lord,And bless us of thy grace:To shine on us do thou accord,With thy well-pleased face. [verse 2] That thy most holy wayMay to the earth be shewn:And that thy saving Doctrine mayBe to all Nations known.
[verse 3] Let heathen tongues, O God,Thy noble praise proclaim:And let all Nations spread abroadThe glory of thy name. [verse 4] O Let the people vieWith songs to vent their mirth:For thou shalt justly rule and tryThe Nations on the earth.
[verse 5] Let heathen Tongues, O God,Thy noble praise proclaim:And let all Nations spread abroadThe glory of thy name. [verse 6] Then shall the fruitfull groundAfford us great increase:And God that is among us own'dShall us with plenty bless. [verse 7] God shall his blessings sendTo us his people dear:
