auto-underlaid These words and this tune share a meter but have no hand-edited setting; the underlay was fitted automatically (syllable-for-note, validated). The opening stress differs from the tune's — usually fine; trust your ear.
1.Lord, bless and pity us,
shine on us with thy face:
That th' earth thy way, and nations all
may know thy saving grace.
2.Let people praise thee, Lord;
let people all thee praise.
O let the nations be glad,
in songs their voices raise:
3.Thou 'lt justly people judge,
on earth rule nations all.
Let people praise thee, Lord; let them
praise thee, both great and small.
4.The earth her fruit shall yield,
our God shall blessing send.
God shall us bless; men shall him fear
unto earth's utmost end.
