29 May God bestow on us His grace

1 May God bestow on us His grace, With blessings rich provide us, And may the brightness of His face To life eternal guide us; That we His gracious work may know, And what is His good pleasure, And also to the heathen show Christ's riches without measure, And unto God convert them. 2 To Thee let all the heathen bring Their joyful gratulations, And all the world rejoice and sing With psalms and acclamations; For Thou, O God, wilt judge the earth; Nor suffer sin to flourish: The land no more shall mourn her dearth, Thy word shall keep and nourish In righteous paths all people. 3 O let thy people praise Thy worth, In all good works increasing; The land shall plenteous fruit bring forth, Thy word is rich in blessing: Let God the Father, God the Son, And Holy Spirit, bless us; To whom by all be honor done! Let solemn awe possess us, Yea, fear Him, all ye people.
