Governing In Grace

orchidee



Tune: Quam Dilecta

('We love the place, O God')

Psalm 67

************

God now be merciful

To us, we shall not fall

Bless us, and cause your face

To shine on us by grace

 

That your way may be known

On earth, and your paths sown

Your saving health among

All nations, praise be sung

 

Let all people praise you

Nations be glad, sing too

For joy, for you judge be

Shall judge us righteously

 

You shall govern nations

Upon earth, daughters, sons

Let all people praise you

O God, and give thanks too

 

Then shall earth give produce

No fears that it reduce

For our God shall supply

And bless us, He be nigh

 

Then all the earth shall fear

And give Him reverence here

Thus shall all worthy praise

His creatures to Him raise
