Lord I will bless thee all my daysA
Thy praise shall dwell upon my tongueB
My soul shall glory in thy graceC
While saints rejoice to hear the songD
-
Come magnify the Lord with meE
Come let us all exalt his nameF
I sought th'eternal God and heE
Has not exposed my hope to shameF
-
I told him all my secret griefG
My secret groaning reached his earsH
He gave my inward pains reliefG
And calmed the tumult of my fearsH
-
To him the poor lift up their eyesI
Their faces feel the heav'nly shineJ
A beam of mercy from the skiesI
Fills them with light and joy divineJ
-
His holy angels pitch their tentsK
Around the men that serve the LordL
O fear and love him all his saintsM
Taste of' his grace and trust his wordN
-
The wild young lions pinched with painO
And hunger roar through all the woodP
But none shall seek the Lord in vainO
Nor want supplies of real goodP
-
Children in years and knowledge youngB
Your parents' hope your parents' joyQ
Attend the counsels of my tongueB
Let pious thoughts your minds employQ
-
If you desire a length of daysA
And peace to crown your mortal stateR
Restrain your feet from impious waysA
Your lips from slander and deceitS
-
The eyes of God regard his saintsM
His ears are open to their criesI
He sets his frowning face againstT
The sons of violence anti liesI
-
To humble souls and broken heartsU
God with his grace is ever nighV
Pardon and hope his love impartsU
When men in deep contrition lieV
-
He tells their tears he counts their groansW
His Son redeems their souls from deathX
His Spirit heals their broken bonesW
They in his praise employ their breathX
