Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#420

420. 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 O magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt his Name;
When in distress to him I called,
He to my rescue came. A-men.

3 The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance he affords to all
Who on his succor trust.

4 For God preserves the souls of those
Who on his truth depend;
To them and their posterity
His blessing shall descend.

5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

Amen.
