1 O God, to us show mercy
and bless us in your grace,
and cause to shine upon us
the brightness of your face;
so that your way most holy
on earth may soon be known,
and unto every people
your saving grace be shown.
2 O God, let all men praise you,
let all the nations sing;
in every land let praises
and songs of gladness ring;
for you shall judge the people
in truth and righteousness,
and through the earth the nations
will your just rule confess.
3 O God, let peoples praise you,
let all the nations sing,
for earth in rich abundance
to us her fruit shall bring.
The Lord our God shall bless us,
our God shall blessing send,
and all the earth shall fear him
to its remotest end.
