1

Magnify Jehovah's name;For his mercies, ever sure,From eternity the same,To eternity endure.

2

Let his ransomed flock rejoice,Gathered out of every landAs the people of his choice,Plucked from the destroyer's hand.

3

To the Lord their God they cry;He inclines a gracious ear,Sends deliverance from on high,Rescues them from all their fear.

4

O that men would praise the LordFor his goodness to their race!For the wonders of his word,And the riches of his grace!
