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.
