God’s free mercy streameth
over all the world,
And His banner gleameth,
by His church unfurled;
Broad and deep and glorious,
as the heaven above,
Shines in might
victorious His eternal love.
Summer suns are glowing
over land and sea;
Happy light is flowing,
bountiful and free;
Everything rejoices
in the mellow rays;
Earth’s ten thousand voices
swell the psalm of praise.
Lord, upon our blindness
Thy pure radiance pour;
For Thy lovingkindness
we would love Thee more;
And when clouds are drifting
dark across the sky,
Then, the veil uplifting,
Father, be Thou nigh.
We will never doubt Thee,
though Thou veil Thy light;
Life is dark without Thee,
death with Thee is bright;
Light of light, shine o’er us
on our pilgrim way;
Go Thou still before us
to the endless day.
