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 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt His name;
When in distress to Him I called,
He to my rescue came.
3 The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succor trust.
4 Oh, make but trial of His love,
Experience will decide
How blest they are, and only they,
Who in His truth confide.
5 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.
