Hymn
Through All the Changing Scenes of Life
Through all the changing scenes of life,
In trouble and in joy,
The praises of my God shall still
My heart and tongue employ.
Of His deliverance I will boast,
Till all that are distrest
From my example comfort take,
And charm their griefs to rest.
O magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt His name!
When in distress on Him I called,
He to my rescue came.
The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succor trust.
O make but trial of His love:
Experience will decide
How blest are they and only they,
Who in His truth confide.
Fear Him, ye Christians, you will then
Have nothing else to fear;
Make you His service your delight,
Your wants shall be His care.
