Text: | When all thy mercies, O my God |
Author: | Joseph Addison, 1672 - 1719 |
Tune: | BELGRAVE |
Composer: | William Horsley, 1774 - 1858 |
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 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom these comforts flowed! A-men.
3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the last a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
4 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I’ll pursue,
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
5 When nature fails, and day and night
Divide thy works no more,
My ever grateful heart, O Lord,
Thy mercies shall adore.
6 Through all eternity to thee
A joyful song I’ll raise;
But O, eternity’s too short,
To utter all thy praise!
Amen.
