1 To bless thy chosen race,

in mercy, Lord, incline;

And cause the brightness of thy face

On all thy saints to shine. �

2 That so thy wondrous ways

may through the world be known,

While distant lands their tribute pay,

and thy salvation own.

3 Let diff'ring nations join

to celebrate thy fame;

Let all the world, O Lord, combine

to praise thy glorious Name.

4 O let them shout and sing

with joy and pious mirth,

For thou, the righteous Judge and King,

shalt govern all the earth.

5 Let diff'ring nations ,join

to celebrate thy fame;

Let all the world, O Lord, combine

to praise thy glorious Name.

6 Then shall the teeming ground

a large increase disclose; �

And we with plenty shall be crowned,

which God, our God, bestows.

7 Then God upon our land

shall constant blessings show'r,

And all the world in awe shall stand

of his resistless pow'r.
