Day by day we magnify Thee, When our hymns in school we raise, Daily work begun and ended With the daily voice of praise.

Verse 3

Day by day we magnify Thee In our hymns before we sleep; Angels hear them, watching by us, Christ’s dear lambs all night to keep.

Verse 4

Day by day we magnify Thee, Not in words of praise alone: Truthful lips and meek obedience Show Thy glory in Thine own.

Verse 5

Day by day we magnify Thee, When for Jesu’s sake we try Every wrong to bear with patience, Every sin to mortify.
