556. The Name of the Lord

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.
