Let all who seek You
Rejoice and be glad
In You
Let them be turned back
Who desire our hurt
Give all who love
Your salvation
A brave new song:
God be magnified
In the midst of war
Rush to deliver us
From those who lie
In wait for our lives
Pursue and overcome
Help us in a rush
Reward them with shame
And cause us
To escape
God be magnified
In our mortal life
We want to see
Your salvation
In the Land of the Living
You alone are God.
