Psalms 67-68

Psalm 67 (1 of 2)

1 TO bless Thy chosen race, In mercy, Lord, incline, And cause the brightness of Thy face On all Thy saints to shine.

2 That so Thy wondrous way May through the world be known;

While distant lands their tribute pay, And Thy salvation own.

3 Let differing nations loin, Their Saviour to proclaim;

Let all the world, O Lord, combine To praise Thy glorious name.

4 Oh let them shout and sing With joy and pious mirth; For Thou, the righteous Judge and King, Shalt govern all the earth.

5 Then God upon our land Shall constant blessings shower; And all the world in awe shall stand Of His resistless power.

Tate and Brady, 1696.

Psalm 67 (2 of 2)

1 GOD of mercy, God of grace, Show the brightness of Thy face;

Shine upon us, Saviour shine, Fill Thy church with light divine; And Thy saving health extend Unto earth's remotest end.

2 Let the people praise Thee, Lord; Be by all that live adored;

Let the nations shout and sing Glory to their Saviour King; At Thy feet their tribute pay, And Thy holy will obey.

3 Let the people praise Thee, Lord, Earth shall then her fruits afford;

God to man His blessing give;

Man to God devoted live;

All below, and all above, One in joy and light and love.

Henry Francis Lyte, 1834.

Psalm 68 (1 of 3)

1 LET God arise, and scattered Let all His enemies be; And let all those that do Him hate Before His presence flee.

2 As smoke is driven so drive Thou them; As fire melts wax away, Before God's face let wicked men So perish and decay.

3 But let the righteous all be glad:

Let them before God's sight Be very joyful; yea, let them Rejoice with all their might.

4 To God sing praise, to God sing praise:

Extol Him with your voice, He rides on heaven, by His name JAH, Before His face rejoice.
