Tune:DURHAM
Composer (melody and bass):Thomas Ravenscroft, 1592?-1635?

415. When all thy mercies, O my God

1 When all your mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view, I'm lost
in wonder, love, and praise.

2 O how shall words with equal warmth
the gratitude declare,
that glows within my fervent heart?
But thou canst read it there.

3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ;
nor is the least a cheerful heart
that tastes those gifts with joy.

4 When nature fails, and day and night
divide thy works no more,
my ever grateful heart, O Lord,
thy mercy shall adore.

5 Through all eternity, to thee
a joyful song I'll raise;
but oh, eternity's too short
to utter all thy praise!
