- 1Through all the changing scenes of life,
- In trouble and in joy,
- The praises of my God shall still
- My heart and tongue employ.
- 2Of His deliverance I will boast,
- Till all that are distrest
- From my example comfort take,
- And charm their griefs to rest.
- 3O magnify the Lord with me,
- With me exalt His name!
- When in distress on Him I called,
- He to my rescue came.
- 4The hosts of God encamp around
- The dwellings of the just;
- Deliverance He affords to all
- Who on His succor trust.
- 5O make but trial of His love:
- Experience will decide
- How blest are they and only they,
- Who in His truth confide.
- 6Fear Him, ye Christians, you will then
- Have nothing else to fear;
- Make you His service your delight,
- Your wants shall be His care.
