Lord, unto Us Be Merciful (Second Version)

Lord, unto us be merciful

from the Scottish Psalter, 1650 · 8.6.8.6

1.Lord, unto us be merciful,
do thou us also bless;
And graciously cause shine on us
the brightness of thy face:

2.That so thy way upon the earth
to all men may be known;
Also among the nations all
thy saving health be shown.

3.O let the people praise thee, Lord;
let people all thee praise.
O let the nations be glad,
and sing for joy always:

4.For rightly thou shalt people judge,
and nations rule on earth.
Let people praise thee, Lord; let all
the folk praise thee with mirth.

5.Then shall the earth yield her increase;
God, our God, bless us shall.
God shall us bless; and of the earth
the ends shall fear him all.
