P67a. Lord, bless and pity us

1 Lord, bless and pity us,
shine on us with thy face:
2 that the earth thy way, and nations all
may know thy saving grace.
3 Let people praise thee, Lord;
let people all thee praise.
4 O let the nations be glad,
in songs their voices raise:

Thou’lt justly people judge,
on earth rule nations all.
5 Let people praise thee, Lord; let them
praise thee, both great and small.

6 The earth her fruit hath given;
our God shall blessing send.
7 God shall us bless; men shall him fear
unto earth’s utmost end.
