^1Lord, bless and pity us,

shine on us with thy face:

^2That th' earth thy way, and nations all

may know thy saving grace.

^3Let people praise thee, Lord;

let people all thee praise.

^4O let the nations be glad,

in songs their voices raise:

Thou'lt justly people judge,

on earth rule nations all.

^5Let people praise thee, Lord; let them

praise thee, both great and small.

^6The earth her fruit shall yield,

our God shall blessing send.

^7God shall us bless; men shall him fear

unto earth's utmost end.
