456. Lord, Bless and Pity Us

1 Lord, bless and pity us,
Shine on us with your face,
That all the earth your way may know
And men may see your grace.

2 Your praise, O gracious God,
Let all the nations sing;
Let all men worship you with joy
And songs of gladness bring.

3 The nations you will judge
And lead them in your ways;
Let all men praise your name, O God,
Let all the people praise.

4 The earth her fruit shall yield,
For God, our God, will bless;
We shall be blest, and all the world
His glory shall confess.

Amen.
