A benediction hymn by John Newton, published in the Olney Hymns (1779), invoking the Trinitarian blessing of grace, love, and the Spirit's favour upon believers. Widely used as a closing doxology in worship.

Verse 1

May the grace of Christ our Saviour,
And the Father's boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit's favour,
Rest upon us from above.

Verse 2

Thus may we abide in union
With each other and the Lord,
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth can ne'er afford.
