Lyrics

Lord God of ho­li­ness,
Source of all bless­ed­ness,
Direct our ways.
O may Thy mer­cy flow,
Thro’ all the earth below,
And ev­ery good be­stow,
Thro’ all our days.

Thou dost all na­tions prove,
By Thy blest Word they move,
Thy Word and love;
O shed Thy ho­ly light,
Around our path­way bright,
And lead us ev­er right,
O Lord above.

All foun­tains from Thee flow,
The sun­beams dost be­stow,
The in­crease give;
Then may our land be blest,
With Thy rich boun­ties’ best,
And with Thy heav’n­ly rest,
In whom we live.

Now may our hearts re­joice,
And with unit­ed voice,
Thy prais­es sing.
O may sweet an­thems ring,
From all the na­tions spring,
To Thee all glo­ry bring,
Je­ho­vah King.
