2Show the brightness of Thy face:
3Shine upon us, Saviour, shine,
4Fill Thy church with light Divine;
5And Thy saving health extend,
6Unto earth's remotest end.
7Let Thy people praise Thee, Lord;
8Be by all that live adored;
9Let the nations shout and sing,
10Glory to their Saviour King;
11At Thy feet their tributes pay,
12And Thy holy will obey.
13Let the people praise Thee, Lord;
14Earth shall then her fruits afford;
15God to man His blessing give,
16Man to God devoted live;
17All below, and all above,
18One in joy, and light, and love.
