O GOD, BE GRACIOUS AND BLESS US (Ps. 66)

Antiphon: Let the peoples praise you, O God;\nLet all the peoples praise you.\nO God, be gracious and bless us\nAnd let your face shed its light upon us!\nSo will your ways be known upon earth\nAnd all nations learn your saving help.\n2. Let the nations be glad and exult,\nFor you rule the world with justice\nWith fairness you rule the peoples,\nYou guide the nations on earth.\n3. The earth has yielded its fruit\nFor God, our God, has blessed us.\nMay God still give us his blessing\nTill the ends of the earth revere him.\n4. Give praise to the Father Almighty,\nTo his Son, Jesus Christ the Lord,\nTo the Spirit who dwells in our hearts,\nBoth now and for ever. Amen.
