42. O Magnify, the Lord with Me

Verse 1

O MAGNIFY. the Lord with me, 

Ye people of His choice!

Let all to whom He lendeth breath

Now in His name rejoice;

For love’s blest revelation, 

For rest from condemnation, 

For uttermost salvation, 

To Him give thanks.

 

Let all… the people praise Thee.

Let all… the people praise Thee!

Let all. the people praise Thy name 

For ever and for evermore.

For evermore, O Lord!

Let all… the people praise Thee 

Let all… the people praise Thee

Let all… the people praise Thy name 

For ever and for evermore.

Verse 2

O praise Him for His holiness, 

His wisdom and His grace,

Sing praises for the precious blood

Which ransomed all our race;

In tenderness He sought us, 

From depths of sin He brought us, 

The way of life then taught us,

To Him give thanks.

 

Verse 3

Had I a thousand tongues to sing, 

The half could ne’er be told 

Of love so rich, so full and free, 

Of blessings manifold 

Of grace that faileth never, 

Peace flowing as a river 

From God the glorious Giver, 

To Him give thanks
