366. 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
Unto 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 th' eternal King;
At Thy feet their tribute pay,
And Thy holy will obey.

3 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, in light, in love.
