67E. O God, Show Us Your Mercy

1 O God, show us your mercy and bless us with your grace;
and cause to shine upon us the brightness of your face,
that so your way most holy on earth may soon be known,
and unto ev'ry people your saving grace be shown.
Let all the peoples praise you, let all the nations sing;
in ev'ry land let praises and songs of gladness ring.

2 For you will judge the peoples in truth and righteousness,
your rule of perfect justice all nations will confess.
Let all the peoples praise you, let all the nations sing;
then earth in rich abundance to us its fruit shall bring.
The Lord our God will bless us, his richest blessing send,
and all creation praise him to earth's remotest end.
