O God to Us Show Mercy, based on Psalm 67

Here are the words to this [paraphrased] Psalm:

1 O God, to us show mercy
and bless us in your grace,
and cause to shine upon us
the brightness of your face,
so that your way most holy
on earth may soon be known,
and unto every people
your saving grace be shown.


2 Let all the peoples praise you,
let all the nations sing;
in every land let praises
and songs of gladness ring;
for you will judge the peoples
in truth and righteousness,
and on the earth all nations
will your just rule confess.


3 Let all the peoples praise you,
let all the nations sing.
Then earth in rich abundance
to us her fruit will bring.
The LORD our God will bless us,
our God will blessing send,
and all the earth will fear him
to its remotest end.
