God of mercy, God of grace by William Henry Havergal — Lyrics
God of mercy, God of grace,
Show the brightness of Thy face;
Shine upon us, Saviour, shine,
Fill Thy Church with light divine,
And Thy saving health extend
Unto earth’s remotest end.

About God of mercy, God of grace
William Henry Havergal's setting of God of mercy, God of grace unfolds with a clear and direct four-part texture for SATB choir. The music gracefully supports the devotional English text, which invokes divine light and blessing. The composer’s harmonic language is forthright and accessible, aiming to convey the hymn’s message of praise and universal salvation with clarity. The anthem's structure moves assuredly through verses of supplication and adoration, building to a broad affirmation of God's glory and dominion. Its straightforward presentation makes it a fitting choice for services seeking a well-crafted and uplifting sacred anthem.
