Productive Praise

Tune: Holton Holgate

('Firmly I believe and truly')

Psalm 67

*******

God be merciful unto us

Bless us, turn His face to us

That his way may be known upon

Earth, inhabitants each one

And His saving health among all

Nations, let them on Him call

Shine upon us, O God, and let

People bring you praises yet*

Let the nations be glad and sing

For joy, for He in each thing

Shall judge the people righteously

And govern nations justly

Shine upon us. O God, and let

People bring you praises yet*

Then shall the earth yield her increase

And our God shall bless, not cease

God shall bless us, and all the ends

Of the earth shall see His trends

And shall fear Him awesome, holy

Our provider He e'er be
