A Selection of Psalms with occasional hymns (Charleston hymnal) ‎#H.XXX

H.XXX. 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 O how shall words with equal warmth
The gratitude declare,
That glows within my ravish'd heart?
But thou canst read it there.

3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a chearful heart,
That tastes those gifts of 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 mercy shall adore.

6 Through all eternity to thee
A joyful song I’ll raise;
For oh! eternity’s too short
To utter all thy praise.
