Author: M. Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 May God bestow on us His grace,
With blessings rich provide us,
And may the brightness of His face
To life eternal guide us;
That we His gracious work may know,
And what is His good pleasure,
And also to the heathen show
Christ's riches without measure,
And unto God convert them.
2 To Thee let all the heathen bring
Their joyful gratulations,
And all the world rejoice and sing
With psalms and acclamations;
For Thou, O God, wilt judge the earth;
Nor suffer sin to flourish:
Thy land no more shall mourn her dearth,
Thy word shall keep and nourish
In righteous paths all people.
3 O let the people praise Thy worth,
In all good works increasing;
The land shall plenteous fruit bring forth,
Thy word is rich in blessing.
May God the Father, God the Son,
And Holy Spirit, bless us:
To whom by all be honor done!
Let solemn awe possess us,
Yea, fear Him, all ye people. Topics: Worship in General; Worship in General Prayer and Praise; Missions; Praise and Prayer Used With Tune: [May God bestow on us His grace]
