1 Sweetly in music swelling,
The praises of our great Jehovah we are telling!
To Him be all the glory!
To us the joy of singing out the wondrous story;
On wings of mercy flying,
He came to earth to seek and save the lost and dying—
From heav’n He came,
To bear our shame,
Oh, magnify His name.
To Him be all the glory!
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Sing out the wondrous story,
Laud and magnify His name!
Refrain:
Serve Him in adoration!
O come with singing,
Glad praises bringing!
And, for His great salvation
We laud and magnify His name!
2 Gladly together singing,
We send the music of His praises upward ringing!
By waters calm He leads us,
And daily with the bread of heaven kindly feeds us;
When on the mountain straying,
We hear His gentle, loving voice so sweetly saying:—
“Come unto me!
From danger flee!
For I have died for thee.”
To Him be all the glory!
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Sing out the wondrous story,
Laud and magnify His name! [Refrain]
