From Luther’s hymn, “May God Bestow on Us His Grace”

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.
