Psalm 67:1-2; Psalm 96:10-13; Isaiah 55:10-11; Isaiah 62:1-2—Sunday’s Hymn
of the Day is May God Bestow on Us His Grace (LSB
#824). The inspiration for this
Luther hymn is a prayer of David echoing the priestly benediction recorded in
Number 6:24-26.
May God Bestow on Us His Grace
1.
May God bestow on us His grace,
With
blessings rich provide us,
And
may the brightness of His face
To
life eternal guide us
That we His saving health may know,
His
gracious will and pleasure,
And
also to the heathen show
Christ's riches without measure
And unto God convert them.
2.
Thine over all shall be the praise
And
thanks of every nation,
And all the world with joy shall raise
The
voice of exultation;
For
Thou shalt judge the earth, O Lord,
Nor
suffer sin to flourish;
Thy
people's pasture is Thy Word
Their
souls to feed and nourish,
In
righteous paths to keep them.
3.
Oh, let the people praise Thy worth,
In
all good works increasing;
The
land shall plenteous fruit bring forth,
Thy
Word is rich in blessing.
May
God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit bless us!
Let
all theworld praise Him alone,
Let
solemn awe possess us.
Now
let our hearts say, Amen.
