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.
