Evening Prayer in Advent 2010: Westminster Abbey Choir - Psalm 67

Evening Prayer, Psalm 67, "God be merciful unto us..." Sung every evening throughout the year, 24/7, following the NT reading for the specific day in question, including Advent. For Prayer Book and Bible-loving Churchmen, here are the words of Psalm 67--engrained upon our memories by catechetical usage.

1God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.

2That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.

3Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

4O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

5Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

6Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

7God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
