God of Grace, O Let Thy Light

God of grace

O let Thy light

Bless our dim and blind­ed sight;

Like the day-spring on the night

Bid Thy grace to shine.

To the na­tions led as­tray

Thine eter­nal love dis­play:

Let Thy truth di­rect their way

Till the world be Thine.

Praise to Thee

the faith­ful Lord;

Let all tongues in glad ac­cord

Learn the good thanks­giv­ing word

Ever prais­ing Thee.

Let them moved to glad­ness sing

Owning Thee their judge and king;

Righteous truth shall bloom and spring

Where Thy rule shall be.

Praise to Thee

all faith­ful Lord;

Let all tongues in glad ac­cord

Speak the good thanks­giv­ing word

Heart re­joic­ing praise.

So the fruit­ful earth’s in­crease

Bounty of the God of peace

Never in its course shall cease

Through the length of days;

While His grace our life shall cheer

Furthest lands shall own His fear

Brought to Him in wor­ship near

Taught His mer­cy’s ways.
