Through all the changing scenes of life

56 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 deliv'rance I will boast,
   Till all that are distress'd,
   From my example comfort take,
   And sooth their griefs to rest.

3 O magnify the Lord with me,
   With me exalt his Name,
   To him in my distress I cry'd
   He to my rescue came.

4 With grateful hearts observe his ways,
   And on his goodness rest;
   So will your own experience prove
   That pious souls are blest.

5 For while his fear inspires your breast,
   His mercy will be nigh,
   To guard your lives from threat'ning ills,
   And all your wants supply.
