- 1Magnify Jehovah's Name;
- For His mercies ever sure,
- From eternity the same,
- To eternity endure.
- 2Let His ransomed flock rejoice,
- Gathered out of every land,
- As the people of His choice,
- Plucked from the destroyer's hand.
- 3In the wilderness astray,
- In the lonely waste they roam,
- Hungry, fainting by the way,
- Far from refuge, shelter, home:
- 4To the Lord their God they cry;
- He inclines a gracious ear,
- Sends deliverance from on high,
- Rescues them from all their fear.
- 5Them a pleasant land He brings,
- Where the vine and olive grow;
- Where from verdant hills, the springs
- Through luxuriant valleys flow.
- 6Oh, that men would praise the Lord,
- For His goodness to their race!
- For the wonders of His word,
- And the riches of His grace.
- 7Amen.
