Lyrics

O mag­ni­fy the Lord with me,
All ye that bear His name;
His faith­ful­ness and so­ver­eignty
Forever are the same.

He is the soul’s un­fail­ing spring,
Its full orbed sum­mer noon;
The au­tumn of its har­vest­ing,
Its win­ter’s rest­ful boon.

All times and sea­sons of the soul,
Revolve His will around;
The uni­verse it­self pays toll
To make its life abound.

So is its life se­cure and free
Because He leads the way;
At length it shares eter­nal­ly
With God His per­fect day.

O sing with me, both young and old,
Of His un­chang­ing ways;
And let His good­ness ma­ni­fold
Forever be our praise.
