96. God of mercy, God of grace

1 God of mercy, God of grace,
Show the brightness of Thy face;
Shine upon us, Saviour, shine;
Fill Thy Church with light divine;
And Thy saving health extend
To the 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 its 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.

Amen.
