Composer:Pelham Humphreys, 1647-1674

671b. Deus Misereatur

1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us:
and show us the light of His countenance and be merciful unto us;

2 That Thy way may be known upon earth:
The saving health among all nations.

3 Let the people praise Thee O God:
yea let all the people praise Thee.

4 O let the nations rejoice and be glad:
for Thou shalt judge the folk righteously and govern the nations upon earth.

5 Let the people praise Thee O God:
yea let all the people praise Thee.

6 Then shall the earth bring forth her increase:
and God, even our own God, shall give us His blessing.

7 God shall bless us:
and all the ends of the world shall fear Him.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son:
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be:
world without end. Amen.
