Lord, to our hum­ble pray­ers at­tend,
Let Thou Thy peace from Hea­ven des­cend,
And to our souls sal­va­tion send,
Have mer­cy, Lord up­on us.

Rule in our hearts, Thou Prince of Peace,
The wel­fare of Thy Church in­crease,
And bid all strife and dis­cord cease;
Have mer­cy, Lord up­on us.

To all who meet for wor­ship here
Do Thou in faith­ful­ness draw near;
Inspire with faith and god­ly fear:
Have mer­cy, Lord up­on us.

O let Thy priests be clothed with might,
To rule with­in Thy Church aright,
That they may serve as in Thy sight:
Have mer­cy, Lord up­on us.

The so­ver­eign rul­er of our land
Protect by Thine al­migh­ty hand,
And all around the throne who stand:
Have mer­cy, Lord up­on us.

Let clouds and sun­shine bless the earth,
Give flow­ers and fruits a time­ly birth,
Our har­vests crown with peace­ful mirth:
Have mer­cy, Lord up­on us.

Let voy­ag­ers by land and sea
In dan­ger’s hour in safe­ty be;
The suf­fer­ing and the cap­tive free:
Have mer­cy, Lord up­on us.

Around us let Thine arm be cast,
Till wrath and dan­ger are o’er­past
And tri­bu­la­tion’s bit­ter blast:
Have mer­cy, Lord up­on us.
