Second Version (C.M.)

8,6,8,6

^1Lord, unto us be merciful,

do thou us also bless;

And graciously cause shine on us

the brightness of thy face:

^2That so thy way upon the earth

to all men may be known;

Also among the nations all

thy saving health be shown.

^3O let the people praise thee, Lord;

let people all thee praise.

^4O let the nations be glad,

and sing for joy always:

For rightly thou shalt people judge,

and nations rule on earth.

^5Let people praise thee, Lord; let all

the folk praise thee with mirth.

^6Then shall the earth yield her increase;

God, our God, bless us shall.

^7God shall us bless; and of the earth

the ends shall fear him all.
