May God Bestow on Us His Grace
In 1523, Martin Luther (1483-1546) wrote the lyrics of the hymn "Es woll' uns Gott genadig sein" (“It wanted us to be God Genade”) Genade is a Dutch word meaning “grace” or “mercy.” The English title is “May God Bestow on Us His Grace.”
The song has been called “the first missionary hymn of Protestantism.” "Timeline of Christian Missions," Wikipedia. The hymn is inspired by Psalm 67:1. It is Hymn 500 in the Lutheran Hymnal.
