Lyrics:



Through all the changing scenes of life,

In trouble and in joy,

The praises of my God shall still

My heart and tongue employ.



Of His deliverance I will boast,

Till all that are distressed

From my example courage take

And soothe their griefs to rest.



O magnify the Lord with me,

With me exalt His Name;

When in distress to Him I called,

He to my rescue came.



Their drooping hearts were soon refreshed,

Who looked to Him for aid;

Desired success in every face,

A cheerful air displayed.



“Behold,” they say, “Behold the man

Whom providence relieved;

The man so dangerously beset,

So wondrously retrieved!”



The hosts of God encamp around

The dwellings of the just;

Deliverance He affords to all

Who on His succor trust.



O make but trial of His love;

Experience will decide

How blest are they, and only they,

Who in His truth confide.



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.



While hungry lions lack their prey,

The Lord will food provide

For such as put their trust in Him,

And see their needs supplied.
