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 call'd,
He to my rescue came.
4 The angel of the Lord encamps
Around the good and just;
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succour trust.
5 O make but trial of His love,
Experience will decide
How blest they are, 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,
Your wants shall be His care.
