Come, let us magnify the Lord,
Adore his name, revere his word,
And tell the world our joy;
His promises are free and sure,
His truth and faithfulness endure,
Through time and nature die.
That mercy which he once displayed,
To Abraham and his chosen seed,
By oath and covenant given,
In still our refuge in distress,
While his almighty power and grace
Can make us meet for heaven.
Whether he gives or takes away,
Whether he smiles for frowns to-day,
He’s merciful and kind;
Amidst the scourgings of his rod,
He, the all-wise and loving God,
Has all for good designed.
While creatures change, he’s still the same,
Le the whole earth his praise proclaim,
And own their sovereign King;
But saints should raise their voices higher,
To more exalted notes aspire,
When they his praises sing.
His bounteous hands are opened wide,
Whence all their wants are well supplied,
Both temporal and divine;
Still greater blessings are in store,
The more they ask, he gives the more,
Till they in glory shine.
