Tune: Old Yeavering
('Like a mighty river flowing')
Psalm 67
********
God be merciful to us, bless
Us, we His praises here confess
Cause His face to upon us shine
E'en His countenance divine
That His ways may on earth be known
His saving health unto us shown
Unto all nations, so all praise
Him, and to Him anthems raise
Let the people, O God, praise you
Let the nations joy in you true
For you shall judge all righteously
Your governance fair shall be
Then shall the earth yield her increase
God shall bless us, there no decrease
And all ends of earth shall Him fear
Reverence His presence near
[This refrain is repeated in the Psalm.
It fits in here as a repeat of Verse 3].
Let the people, O God, praise you
Let the nations joy in you true
For you shall judge all righteously
Your governance fair shall be
