Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David ‎#CXXXIXf

CXXXIXf. The Mercies of GOD innumerable (An Evening Psalm)

1 Lord, when I count thy mercies o'er,
They strike me with surprise;
Not all the sands that spread the shore,
To equal numbers rise.

2 My flesh with fear and wonder stands,
The product of thy skill,
And hourly blessings from thy hands
Thy thoughts of love reveal.

3 These on my heart by night I keep;
How kind, how dear to me!
Oh may the hour that ends my sleep
Still find my thoughts with thee.
