Through All the Changing Scenes of Life

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 476 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 34 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 sooth 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 in his promise trust. 5 O make but trial of his love; experience will decide how blest they are, and only they, who on 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.

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.

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.

The second Part. 11 Come neare therefore my children deare and to my words give eare: I shall ye teach the perfect way, how ye the Lord shall feare. 12 Who is the man that would live long and lead a blessed life? 13 See thou refraine thy tongue and lips from all deceit and strife. 14 Turn back thy face from doing ill, and do the godly deed: Inquire for peace and quietnesse, and follow it with speed. 15 For why? the eyes of God above, upon the just are bent: His eares likewise to heare the plaint of the poore innocent. 16 But he doth frown and bend his browes upon the wicked traine: And cuts away the memory that should of them remaine. 17 But when the just do call and cry, the Lord doth heare them so, That out of paine and misery forthwith he lets them go. 18 The Lord is kind and stright at hand to such as be contrite He saves also the sorrowfull, the poore and meeke in spirite. 19 Full many be the miseries, that righteous men do suffer: But out of all adversities the Lord doth tjee deliver. 20 The Lord doth so preserve and keep their very bones alway: That not so much as one of them doth perish or decay. 21 The sin shall slay the wicked man, which he himselfe hath wrought: And such as hate the righteous man shall soone be brought to nought. 22 But they that feare the living Lord the Lord doth save them sound: And who that put their trust in him, nothing shall them confound.

What Wondrous Love Is This

Meter: 12.9.12.12.9 Appears in 252 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 34 First Line: What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul Lyrics: 1 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul! What wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, to bear the dreadful curse for my soul! 2 When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down, when I was sinking down, sinking down, when I was sinking down beneath God's righteous frown, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul. 3 To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing; to God and to the Lamb I will sing; to God and to the Lamb, who is the great I AM while millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing, while millions join the theme, I will sing. 4 And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on, and when from death I'm free, I'll sing on. And when from death I'm free I'll sing and joyful be, and through eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on, and through eternity I'll sing on.
