1 When God proclaims his name,
Then Zion hears with joy;
His grace, from age to age the same,
Shall all her needs supply.

2 When he descends to show
The wonders of his heart,
His presence lays proud nature low,
And guilty fears depart.

3 Rich mercy he proclaims
To sinners in distress;
And, by the most endearing names,
Reveals to them his grace.
