Through All the Changing Scenes of Life
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 474 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 34:1-9 Lyrics: 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 deliv'rance 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 called,
he to my rescue came.
4 The hosts of God encamp around
the dwellings of the just;
deliv'rance he affords to all
who on his succor 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,
he'll make your wants his care.

Psalm 34 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 87 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 34 First Line: Lord, I will bless thee all my days Lyrics:
Lord, I will bless thee all my days,
Thy praise shall dwell upon my tongue
My soul shall glory in thy grace,
While saints rejoice to hear the song.
Come, magnify the Lord with me,
Come, let us all exalt his name;
I sought th' eternal God, and he
Has not exposed my hope to shame.
I told him all my secret grief,
My secret groaning reached his ears;
He gave my inward pains relief;
And calmed the tumult of my fears.
To him the poor lift up their eyes,
Their faces feel the heav'nly shine;
A beam of mercy from the skies
Fills them with light and joy divine.
His holy angels pitch their tents
Around the men that serve the Lord;
O fear and love him, all his saints,
Taste of his grace, and trust his word.
The wild young lions, pinched with pain
And hunger, roar through all the wood;
But none shall seek the Lord in vain,
Nor want supplies of real good.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 34:11-22 First Line: Children, in years and knowledge young Lyrics:
Children, in years and knowledge young,
Your parents' hope, your parents' joy,
Attend the counsels of my tongue,
Let pious thoughts your minds employ.
If you desire a length of days,
And peace to crown your mortal state,
Restrain your feet from impious ways,
Your lips from slander and deceit.
The eyes of God regard his saints,
His ears are open to their cries;
He sets his frowning face against
The sons of violence and lies.
To humble souls and broken hearts
God with his grace is ever nigh;
Pardon and hope his love imparts,
When men in deep contrition lie.
He tells their tears, he counts their groans,
His Son redeems their souls from death;
His Spirit heals their broken bones,
They in his praise employ their breath.

Psalm 34 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 60 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 34:1-10 First Line: I'll bless the Lord from day to day Lyrics:
I'll bless the Lord from day to day;
How good are all his ways!
Ye humble souls that use to pray,
Come, help my lips to praise.
Sing to the honor of his name,
How a poor suff'rer cried,
Nor was his hope exposed to shame,
Nor was his suit denied.
When threat'ning sorrows round me stood,
And endless fears arose,
Like the loud billows of a flood,
Redoubling all my woes;
I told the Lord my sore distress,
With heavy groans and tears;
He gave my sharpest torments ease,
And silenced all my fears.
[O sinners, come and taste his love,
Come, learn his pleasant ways;
And let your own experience prove
The sweetness of his grace.
He bids his angels pitch their tents
Round where his children dwell;
What ills their heav'nly care prevents
No earthly tongue can tell.]
[O love the Lord, ye saints of his;
His eye regards the just:
How richly blest their portion is
Who make the Lord their trust!
Young lions, pinched with hunger, roar
And famish in the wood;
But God supplies his holy poor
With every needful good.]

Come, children, learn to fear the Lord
And that your days be long,
Let not a false or spiteful word
Be found upon your tongue.
Depart from mischief, practise love,
Pursue the works of peace;
So shall the Lord your ways approve,
And set your souls at ease.
His eyes awake to guard the just,
His ears attend their cry;
When broken spirits dwell in dust,
The God of grace is nigh.
What though the sorrows here they taste
Are sharp and tedious too,
The Lord, who saves them all at last,
Is their supporter now.
Evil shall smite the wicked dead;
But God secures his own,
Prevents the mischief when they slide,
Or heals the broken bone.
When desolation, like a flood,
O'er the proud sinner rolls,
Saints find a refuge in their God,
For he redeemed their souls.

Psalm 34: God will I bless all times; his praise
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 34 First Line: God will I bless all times; his praise Lyrics:
1God will I bless all times; his praise
my mouth shall still express.
2My soul shall boast in God: the meek
shall hear with joyfulness.
3Extol the Lord with me, let us
exalt his name together.
4I sought the Lord, he heard, and did
me from all fears deliver.
5They look’d to him, and lighten’d were:
not shamed were their faces.
6This poor man cry’d, God heard, and sav’d
him from all his distresses.
7The angel of the Lord encamps,
and round encompasseth
All those about that do him fear,
and them delivereth.
8O taste and see that God is good:
who trusts in him is bless’d.
9Fear God his saints: none that him fear
shall be with want oppress’d.
10The lions young may hungry be,
and they may lack their food:
But they that truly seek the Lord
shall not lack any good.
11O children, hither do ye come,
and unto me give ear;
I shall you teach to understand
how ye the Lord should fear.
12What man is he that life desires,
to see good would live long?
13Thy lips refrain from speaking guile,
and from ill words thy tongue.
14Depart from ill, do good, seek peace,
pursue it earnestly.
15God’s eyes are on the just; his ears
are open to their cry.
16The face of God is set against
those that do wickedly,
That he may quite out from the earth
cut off their memory.
17The righteous cry unto the Lord,
he unto them gives ear;
And they out of their troubles all
by him deliver’d are.
18The Lord is ever nigh to them
that be of broken sp’rit;
To them he safety doth afford
that are in heart contrite.
19The troubles that afflict the just
in number many be;
But yet at length out of them all
the Lord doth set him free.
20He carefully his bones doth keep,
whatever can befall;
That not so much as one of them
can broken be at all.
21Ill shall the wicked slay; laid waste
shall be who hate the just.
22The Lord redeems his servants’ souls;
none perish that him trust.

in every part with praise,
that my whole being may proclaim
thy being and thy ways.
Not for the lip of praise alone,
nor e'en the praising heart
I ask, but for a life made up
of praise in every part.
2 Praise in the common words I speak,
life's common looks and tones,
in fellowship enjoyed at home
with my beloved ones,
enduring wrong, reproach, or loss
with sweet and steadfast will,
forgiving freely those who hate,
returning good for ill.
3 So shall each fear, each fret, each care
be turned into a song,
and every winding of the way
the echo shall prolong.
So shall no part of day or night
from sacredness be free,
but all my life, in every step,
be fellowship with thee.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,996 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 34:2 Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
save in the death of Christ my God;
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.

Give to the Winds Thy Fears
Author: John Wesley; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 518 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 34:4 Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears;
Hope and be undismayed;
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears,
God shall lift up thy head.
2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms,
He gently clears thy way;
Wait thou His time; so shall this night
Soon end in joyous day.
3 Leave to His sovereign sway
To choose and to command;
So shalt thou, wondering, own His way,
How wise, how strong His hand!
4 Far, far above thy thought
His counsel shall appear,
When fully He the work hath wrought
That caused thy needless fear.

Oh, for that tenderness of heart
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 185 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 34:10 Lyrics: 1 Oh, for that tenderness of heart
Which bows before the Lord,
Acknowledging how just thou art,
And trembling at thy word:
Oh, for those humble, contrite tears,
Which from repentance flow;
That consciousness of guilt, which fears
The long-suspended blow.
2 Saviour, to me, in pity, give
The sensible distress;
The pledge thou wilt at last receive,
And bid me die in peace:
Wilt from the dreadful day remove,
Before the evil come;
My spirit hide with saints above--
My body in the tomb.

as in his light
with sweet delight

and praise him still
through good or ill,
who ever lives.

triumph in God above,
and with a well-tuned heart
sing out the songs of love.
Let all thy days
till life shall end,
whate'er he send,
be filled with praise. Topics: Our Response to God in adoration and gratitude; The Church Celebrates Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Angels; Communion of Saints; Music and Song Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136th

And you have to get along with meager fare,
Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird--
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
Chorus:
Leave it there, (Leave it there,) Leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there;
If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out–
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
2 If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain,
And your soul is almost sinking in despair,
Jesus knows the pain you feel, he can save and he can heal–
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. (Chorus)
3 When your enemies assail and your heart begins to fail,
Don’t forget that God in heaven answers prayer;
He will make a way for you and will lead you safely thro'–
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. (Chorus)
4 When your youthful days are done, and old age is stealing on,
And your body bends beneath the weight of care,
He will never leave you then, He’ll go with you to the end–
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. (Chorus)

Approach, ye piously dispos'd
Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 34 Lyrics: 1 Approach, ye piously dispos'd,
And my instruction hear;
I'll teach you the true discipline
Of a religious fear.
2 Let him, who length of life desires,
And prosp'rous ways would see,
From sland'ring language keep his tongue,
His Lips from falshood free:
3 The crooked paths of vice decline,
And virtue's ways pursue;
Establish peace, where 'tis begun;
And, where 'tis lost, renew.
4 The Lord from heav'n, beholds the just
With favourable eyes;
And, when distress'd, his gracious ear
Is open to their cries:
5 But turns his wrathful look on those
Whom mercy can't reclaim,
To cut them off, and from the earth
Blot out their hated name.
