454 Through all the changing scenes of life,
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 deliverance I will boast,
Till all that are distressed,
From mine example comfort take,
And soothe 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;
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succor trust.
5 O make but trial of His love,
Experience will decide
How blest are they, and only they,
Who in His truth confide.
6 Fear Him, ye saints, and you will
Have nothing else to fear;
Make but His service your delight,
Your wants shall be His care.
