Author: C. A. M. Hymnal: New Songs of the Gospel No. 2 #58 (1905) First Line: My Lord has done so much for me, thro' all the passing days Lyrics: 1 My Lord has done so much for me, thro’ all the passing days, I cannot tell it all, I cannot tell it all; And tho’ I spend eternity in songs of joy and praise, Still, I cannot tell it all. Refrain: I cannot tell it all, I cannot tell it all, I cannot tell you all he’s done for me, for me; When on the cross he died, For my sins was crucified, It was freely done for you and me. 2 He puts a song upon my lips, and tho’ I sing for aye, I cannot tell it all, I cannot tell it all; Tho’ I should sing his wondrous love each moment of the day, Still, I cannot tell it all. [Refrain] 3 My falt’ring tongue in vain would speak the wonders of his grace, I cannot tell it all, I cannot tell it all; And tho’ my soul in faith may view the glories of his face, Still, I cannot tell it all. [Refrain] 4 Tho’ he has saved my soul from sin and banished all my fears, I cannot tell it all, I cannot tell it all; And tho’ I sing around his throne a thousand thousand years, Still, I cannot tell it all. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [My Lord has done so much for me, thro' all the passing days]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Person Name: C. A. M. Author of "I Cannot Tell it All" in New Songs of the Gospel No. 2 Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
