1. May God be- stow on us His grace, With bless- ings rich pro- vide us, And may the bright- ness of His face To life e- ter- nal guide us That we His sa- ving health may know, His gra- cious will and plea- sure, And al- so to the hea- then show Christ's rich- es with- out mea- sure And un- to God con- vert them.
 
2. Thine o- ver all shall be the praise And thanks of ev- ery na- tion, And all the world with joy shall raise The voice of ex- ul- ta- tion; For Thou shalt judge the earth, O Lord, Nor suf- fer sin to flour- ish; Thy peo- ple's pas- ture is Thy Word Their souls to feed and nour- ish, In right- eous paths to keep them.
 
3. Oh, let the peo- ple praise Thy worth, In all good works in- crea- sing; The land shall plent- eous fruit bring forth, Thy Word is rich in bless- ing. May God the Fa- ther, God the Son, And God the Spi- rit bless us! Let all the world praise Him a- lone, Let sol- emn awe pos- sess us. Now let our hearts say, A- men.
