Tune: Herongate
('It is a thing most wonderful')
Psalm 67
*********
God be merciful to us, bless
Us, for we your good name confess
And cause your face to on us shine
In beams of love and grace divine
So that your ways on earth be known
Your saving health to all be shown
Among all nations, let all praise
Your wondrous name, and fresh songs raise
O let the nations all be glad
In you, sing for joy, not be sad
For you shall govern righteously
All peoples, just, equitably
Yes, let all people, you God, praise
In melodious tones all days
The refrain echo, shall not cease
Your kingdom of love, joy, and peace
So then shall earth yield her increase
God shall bless the land and release
His dews of blessings, all shall be
In awe of Him, His goodness see

Thanks B&A. It's the 'Deus Misereatur' - Erm, that well-known Latin title (to some Anglicans!), one of a set of Psalm-type pieces selected for some Evensongs. No wonder they may be known by heart. They could be sung in the same churches by long-standing members for 50 years or more! Argghh, I want SOME variety!
Orchi,
A beautiful clip and write!
Enjoyed!
