Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #475a (1894) Lyrics: 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 land,
As the people of His choice,
Plucked from the destroyer's hand.
3 In the wilderness astray,
In the lonely waste they roam,
Hungry, fainting by the way,
Far from refuge, shelter, home:
4 To the Lord their God they cry;
He inclines a gracious ear,
Sends deliverance from on high,
Rescues them from all their fear.
5 Them a pleasant land He brings,
Where the vine and olive grow;
Where from verdant hills, the springs
Through luxuriant valleys flow.
6 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. Languages: English Tune Title: [Magnify Jehovah's Name]
