The hymn by Nahum Tatte (1654 - 1715) and Nicholas Brady (1659 - 1726), is based on Psalm 34.
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 deliv'rance I will boast,
till all that are distressed,
from my example comfort take
and lay their griefs to rest
O magnify the Lord with me,
exalt his holy name;
when in distress I called,
he to my rescue came.
The hosts of God encamp around
the dwellings of the just;
deliv'rance he affords to all
who in his promise trusr.
O taste and see that he is good;
experience will decide
how blest are they, and only they
who in the Lord confide.
Fear him, you saints, and you will then
have nothing else to fear;
make serving him your sole delight,
your wants shall be his care,
