272. God of mercy, God of grace

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

Unto earth's remotest end.

Let the people praise Thee, Lord;

Let Thy love on all be poured;

Let the nations shout and sing

Glory to their Saviour King;

At Thy Feet their tribute pay,

And Thy holy Will obey.

Let the people praise Thee, Lord;

Earth shall then her fruits afford;

God to man His blessing give,

Man to God devoted live;

All below, and all above,

One in joy, and light, and love.
