The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#328

328. When All Thy Mercies, O My God

1 When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I’m lost
In wonder, love, and praise.

2 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the last a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.

3 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I’ll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.

4 Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song I’ll raise:
But O, eternity’s too short
To utter all Thy praise!

Amen.
