III. “God of mercy, God of grace” | | By Henry Francis Lyte (1793–1847) |
| |
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, | 5 |
| 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; | 10 |
| 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; | 15 |
| Man to God devoted live; | |
| All below, and all above, | |
| One in joy and light and love. | | | | |
