Hymn

Magnify Jehovah's Name

Metre 7.7.7.7

Magnify Jehovah's Name;

For His mercies ever sure,

From eternity the same,

To eternity endure.

Let His ransomed flock rejoice,

Gathered out of every land,

As the people of His choice,

Plucked from the destroyer's hand.

In the wilderness astray,

In the lonely waste they roam,

Hungry, fainting by the way,

Far from refuge, shelter, home:

To the Lord their God they cry;

He inclines a gracious ear,

Sends deliverance from on high,

Rescues them from all their fear.

Them a pleasant land He brings,

Where the vine and olive grow;

Where from verdant hills, the springs

Through luxuriant valleys flow.

Oh, that men would praise the Lord,

For His goodness to their race!

For the wonders of His word,

And the riches of His grace.

Amen.
