O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name.
Psalm 34:3
Words: Calvin W. Laufer (1874–1938).
Music: Magnify Calvin W. Laufer (🔊 pdf nwc).
If you know when this hymn was written,
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.
