The Name of the Lord. Exod. 33. 19; 34. 6
1
The Lord proclaims his name;
 
And sinners hear his voice;
 
His mercy ever stands the same,
 
And we’ll in him rejoice.
2
His name is gracious still,
 
And freely he bestows
 
The bounty of his sovereign will,
 
On all who feel their woes.
3
His patience long endures,
 
And savèd sinners know,
 
A God, long-suffering, still restores
 
Their joy and peace below.
4
The thousands whom he loves
 
He pardons and forgives,
 
Their persons he in Christ approves,
 
And will while Jesus lives.
5
Lord, help us to believe,
 
And make thy name our choice;
 
Thy mercy freely to us give,
 
And we’ll in thee rejoice.
