Hymnal: The Hymnal of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America 1940 #675 (1940) First Line: God be merciful unto us and bless us Lyrics: 1 God be merciful unto us and bless us,
and show us the light of his countenance,
and be merciful unto us;
2 That thy way may be known upon earth,
thy saving health among all nations.
In unison
3 Let the people praise thee O God;
yea let all the people praise thee.
4 O let the nations rejoice and be glad;
for thou shalt judge the folk righteously,
and govern the nations upon the earth.
In unison
5 Let the people praise thee O God;
yea let all the people praise thee.
6 Then shall the earth bring forth her increase;
and God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing.
7 God shall bless us;
and all the ends of the world shall fear him.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen. Tune Title: [God be merciful unto us and bless us]
