1 Through all the changing scenes of life,
In trouble and in joy,
The praises of my God shall still
My heart and tongue employ.

2 Of His deliverance I will boast,
Till all that are distressed
From my example comfort take,
And charm their griefs to rest.

3 O magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt His Name;
When in distress to Him I called,
He to my rescue came.

4 The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succor trust.

5 O make but trial of His love;
Experience will decide.
How blest are they, and only they,
Who in His truth confide.

6 Fear Him, ye saints; and you will then
Have nothing else to fear:
Make you His service your delight,
He'll make your wants His care.

Amen.
