Alfred H. Miles, ed. The Sacred Poets of the Nineteenth Century. 1907.

By Psalms and Hymns. III. “God of mercy, God of grace”

Henry Francis Lyte (1793–1847)

(Psalm lxvii.)

GOD of mercy, God of grace,

Show the brightness of Thy face:

Shine upon us, Saviour, shine;

Fill Thy Church with light divine;

And Thy saving health extend,

Unto earth’s remotest end.

Let the people praise Thee, Lord;

Be by all that live adored;

Let the nations shout and sing

Glory to their Saviour King;

At Thy feet their tributes pay,

And Thy holy will obey.

Let the people praise Thee, Lord,

Earth shall then her fruits afford;

God to man His blessing give;

Man to God devoted live;

All below, and all above,

One in joy and light and love.
