Magnify His Mercy

"O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.... The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.... The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit" (Psalm 34:3,15,18).

O magnify the Lord with me
As we exalt His name,
For time and all eternity
Cannot exhaust His fame!

The eyes of God are on His own;
He watches from above.
Let us make His mercy known:
He looks on us with love.

The ears of God can hear our cry,
Indeed, our faintest prayers.
Come and let us testify:
He listens, and He cares!

The heart of God is very near
To hearts He knows are broken,
And He will dry their every tear;
What tender words He's spoken!

The hand of God will surely save
Each one who is contrite.
O magnify the Lord with me:
What mercy and what might!
