Author: J. Addison Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #591 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 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 on my soul
Thy tender care bestowed
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom those comforts flowed.
3 When in the slipp'ry paths of youth
With heedless steps I ran,
Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe
And led me up to man.
4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart,
That tastes those gifts with joy.
5 Thro' every period of my life
Thy goodness I’ll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
6 When nature fails and day and night
Divide Thy works no more,
My ever-grateful heart, O Lord,
Thy mercies shall adore.
7 Through all eternity, to Thee
A grateful song I’ll raise;
But, oh! eternity’s too short
To utter all Thy praise.
