Chorus of Praise by Etienne Nicolas Méhul — Lyrics
1. Hear us, Almighty God, as we bow before thee,
Look upon us with grace divine;
Now bless thine own, as we adore thee,
Make thou thy face upon us to shine.
2. Hear us, Almighty God, thou art our salvation,
Prosper thy cause thro' all the land;

It paints a vivid scene of a people bowing in adoration, reliant on God's strength against their adversaries.
