Through all the changing scenes of life,
In trouble and in joy,
The praises of my God shall still
My heart and tongue employ.
In trouble and in joy,
The praises of my God shall still
My heart and tongue employ.

Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt His name;
When in distress to Him I called,
He to my rescue came.
With me exalt His name;
When in distress to Him I called,
He to my rescue came.

The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succor trust.

Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succor trust.

Oh, make but trial of His love,
Experience will decide
How blest they are, and only they,
Who in His truth confide.
Experience will decide
How blest they are, 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.

Yes one of the great hymns of the church. I am nearly 80, and have valued it all my life since becoming a Christian at age 15.

I'm in my 80th year. The older I get, the more I appreciate that I have brothers and sisters all around the world and through the centuries who have faced all kind of struggles and trials and who testify to God's faithfulness.

I love this hymn. Back in boarding school in my youth, this was the song that gave me that jolt, woke me up and moved my spirit when I was feeling down. That remains true even nowadays going through all the vicissitudes of life at close three scores and a ten. God is good!

My love for this hymn ❤️
This beautiful hymn came to my mind this morning in my time of quiet with the Lord. I am blown away with seeing how many others from around the world have also had this same experience. God is so good.

This is a wonderful hymn which always reminds me of my secondary school days more than sixty years ago. Glory to God!

This hymn is like a reminder from God to me through the highs and lows of life, to keep me at peace. A solid assurance of a piece of His thoughts and plans towards me. Thank you Heavenly Father.

With the dawn came the words of this song from my childhood, and I am blessed.
Like elfrida and Obunmi previously, I knew the joy of Waking to this truth from the blessed holy spirit, and reflections in my quiet time.
It is only miles that seperate brethren in the body of Christ.
