Words by Psalm 67, biblical textMusic by Wendell David Glick

God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us;
That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

Story Behind the Song

This piece is a choral setting of Psalm 67, the biblical prayer that God would bless his people so that his saving way would be known among all nations. It is not a standard congregational hymn with a commonly assigned tune name, but an anthem setting by Wendell David Glick. The exact date of composition is not readily documented in standard hymn-reference sources.
