The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook ‎#129

129. Through all the changing scenes of life

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 The hosts of God encamp around
the dwellings of the just;
protection He affords to all
who make His Name their trust.

4 O magnify the Lord with me,
with me exalt His name;
when in distress to Him I called
He to my rescue came.

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, you saints, and you will then
have nothing else to fear;
make but His service your delight,
your wants shall be His care.
