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 Thy people praise Thee, Lord;
  Be by all that live adored;
  Let the nations shout and sing,
  Glory to their Saviour King;
  At Thy feet their tributes 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.
