Tune: Little Cornard
('Hills of the north, rejoice')
Psalm 67
*********
God to us show mercy
Bless us, shine on us free
Turn unto us your face
Grant to us your good grace
That your way on the earth be known
Your saving health and goodness shown
It be your salvation
Shown unto each nation
Let people, O God, praise
You, all people, and raise
Glad songs of worship to your name
Which be of all-enduring fame
O let the nations be
Glad in you joyously
For you shall judge people
With your righteousness all
And govern nations upon earth
All shall give you tribute and worth
Yes, let people praise you
O God, holy and true
E'en all peoples do praise
You throughout all their days
Then shall the earth yield her increase
And prospeiry never cease
And God, who our God be
Shall bless us, we shall see
That earth to farthest ends
Shall fear Him, each one rends
To Him their praise, in awe, humbly
God governs earth eternally
