'God of Mercy, God of Grace' (hymn) written by Henry Francis Lyte

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

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;

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,

Man to God devoted live

All below and all above,

One in joy, and light, and love.
