Author: Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #341 (1998) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Scripture: Isaiah 56:1-8 Lyrics: 1 God of mercy, God of grace,
show the brightness of your face;
shine upon us, Saviour, shine;
fill your church with light divine;
and your saving health extend
unto earth's remotest end.
2 Let the people praise you, Lord;
be by all that live adored;
let the nations shout and sing
glory to their Saviour King;
at your feet their tribute pay,
and your holy will obey.
3 Let the people praise you, Lord;
earth shall then its fruits afford,
God to us all blessings give,
we to God devoted live;
all below and all above
one in joy and light and love.
