4 And as my life is onward gliding,

With each fresh scene anew I mark
How Thou art holding me and guiding,
Where all seems troubled, strange, and dark;
When cares oppress and hopes depart,
Thy light hath never failed my heart.
5 Shall I not then be filled with gladness,
Shall I not praise Thee evermore?
And triumph o'er all fears and sadness,
E'en when my cup of woes runs o'er?
Though heaven and earth may pass away,
I know Thy word stands fast for aye.

J. Mentzer, 1704

Sing praise unto God out of Zion!

4 For good is the Lord, and His mercy is sure;

Glory be to God!

To all generations His truth shall still endure;
Sing praise unto God out of Zion!

Never shall His promise fail;
God hath made His saints victorious;
Sin and death shall not prevail.
Praise the God of our salvation;
Hosts on high, His power proclaim;
Heaven and earth, and all creation,
Laud and magnify His name.
