God's free mercy streameth over all the world,
And his honour gleameth, by his Church unfurled;
Broad and deep and glorious as the heav'n 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 loving Kindness we would love Thee more,
And when clouds are drifting dark across 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.
