Текст песни Thou Gracious God, Whose Mercy Lends (Mormon Tabernacle Choir) с переводом

Thou gracious God, whose mercy lends

the light of home, the smile of friends,

our gathered flock thine arms enfold

as in the peaceful days of old.

Wilt thou not hear us while we raise

in sweet accord of solemn praise

the voices that have mingled long

in joyous flow of mirth and song?

For all the blessings life has brought,

for all its sorrowing hours have taught,

for all we mourn, for all we keep,

the hands we clasp, the loved that sleep.

The noontide sunshine of the past,

these brief, bright moments fading fast,

the stars that gild our darkening years,

the twilight ray from holier spheres.

We thank thee, Father; let thy grace

our loving circle still embrace,

thy mercy shed its heavenly store,

thy peace be with us evermore
