Bless Us, O God

"God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.  Let the people praise thee O God; let all the people praise thee."  Psalm 67:1-3.  God is the source of all mercy.  His blessings flow unto us because He is merciful.  May His saving health come unto us.  May our ills be healed by His mercy.  But mercy bestowed deserves praise.  We must praise His name because of the blessings that we receive.  Heal our sin and guilt.  Blot out our iniquities.  Bless us with thy mercy so that we might endure and conquer.  Look upon us in our weakness, and bless us with thy strength.  May thy face see our sadness, and give us thy joy.  Behold our inner turmoil, and bless us with thy peace.  Let us praise thy great name for all thy mercy.  See us when we stumble, and lift us up.  Heal all the infirmities of our soul.  May all the people know thee as God, the merciful God.  May the earth see thy goodness, and know thy mercy.  May our heart rejoice and praise thee.  Praise Him, all the land for God is merciful and He blesses again and again.
