Lyrics

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.

Refrain

Let all the peo­ple praise Thee.
Let all the peo­ple praise Thee,
Let all the peo­ple praise Thy name
Forever and for­ev­er­more.

O praise Him for His ho­li­ness,
His wis­dom, and His grace;
Sing prais­es for His 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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
