Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #87 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Almighty Father, gracious Lord, Kind guardian of my days, Thy mercies let my heart record In songs of grateful praise. 2 In life's first dawn, my tender frame Was thy indulgent care, Long ere I could pronounce thy name, Or breathe the infant prayer. 3 Each rolling year new favours brought From thy exhaustless store; But, ah! in vain my labouring thought Would count thy mercies o'er. 4 While sweet reflection, through my days, Thy bounteous hand would trace, Still dearer blessings claim thy praise, The blessings of thy grace. 5 Yes, I adore, thee, gracious Lord! For favours more divine; That I have known thy sacred word, Where all thy glories shine. 6 Lord, when this mortal frame decays, And every weakness dies, Complete the wonders of thy grace, And raise me to the skies.

Almighty Father! Gracious Lord!

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #26 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Almighty Father! Gracious Lord! Kind Guardian of my days, Thy mercies let my heart record In songs of grateful praise. 2 In life's first dawn, my tender frame Was thy indulgent care, Long ere I could pronounce thy name, Or breathe the infant pray'r. 3 When reason with my stature grew, How weak her brightest ray! How little of my God I knew! How apt from thee to stray! 4 Around my path what dangers rose! What snares o'erspread my road! No pow'r could guard me from my foes, But my Preserver, God. 5 When life hung trembling on a breath, 'Twas thy unceasing love That sav'd me from impending death, And bade my fears remove. 6 Lord, though this mortal frame decays, And earthly comfort flies; Complete the wonders of thy grace, And raise me to the skies. 7 Then shall my joyful pow'rs unite In more exalted lays, And Join the happy sons of light In everlasting praise.
