The Cyber Hymnal ‎#3825

3825. The Lord I Will at All Times Bless

1. The Lord I will at all times bless,
My mouth His praises shall express;
In Him shall all my boasting be,
While all the meek rejoice with me.

2. O magnify the Lord with me,
Let us to praise His name agree;
I sought the Lord, He answered me,
And from my fears he set me free.

3. We looked to Him and light received,
Ashamed we shall not be;
Our humble cry Jehovah heard
From trouble set us free.

4. The angel of the Lord encamps
Around about His own,
Delivers them from all their foes,
Lest they be overthrown.

5. O taste and see that God is good
To all that seek His face;
Yea, blest the man that trusts in Him,
Confiding in His grace.

6. O fear the Lord, all ye His saints;
No want shall bring distress;
The lion’s young may pine for food,
The saints all good possess.
