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.
