May God Bestow on Us His Grace

May God be­stow on us His grace

With bless­ings rich pro­vide us

And may the bright­ness of His face

To life eter­nal guide us

That we His sav­ing health may know

His gra­cious will and plea­sure

And also to the hea­then show

Christ’s rich­es with­out mea­sure

And un­to God con­vert them.

Thine ov­er all shall be the praise

And thanks of ev­ery na­tion

And all the world with joy shall raise

The voice of ex­ul­ta­tion;

For Thou shalt judge the earth

O Lord

Nor suf­fer sin to flour­ish;

Thy peo­ple’s pas­ture is Thy Word

Their souls to feed and nour­ish

In right­eous paths to keep them.

Oh

let the peo­ple praise Thy worth

In all good works in­creas­ing;

The land shall plen­te­ous fruit bring forth

Thy Word is rich in bless­ing

May God the Fa­ther

God the Son

And God the Spir­it bless us!

Let all the world praise Him alone

Let so­lemn awe pos­sess us

Now let our hearts say

Amen.
