284. 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 least 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,
For, oh! eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise.
