By A Collection of Hymns

      C.M. Psalm xxxiv.
      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 my example comfort take,
      And charm 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 succour trust.

      5 O make but trial of his love;
      Experience will decide
      How blessed they are, and only they,
      Who in his truth confide.

      6 Fear him, ye saints, and you will then
      Have nothing else to fear;
      Make you his service your delight,
      He'll make your wants his care.
