When All Your Mercies, O My God

Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,011 hymnals Topics: Cheerfulness Lyrics: 1 When all your 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 your tender care bestowed, before my infant heart conceived from whom those comforts flowed. 3 When worn with sickness, oft have you with health renewed my face; and when in sins and sorrows sunk, revived my soul with grace. 4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts my daily thanks employ; nor is the least a cheerful heart that tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through ev'ry period of my life your goodness I'll pursue; and after death, in distant worlds, the glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity to you a joyful song I'll raise; for oh, eternity's too short to utter all your praise. Scripture: Psalm 23:6 Used With Tune: MANOAH

"Songs in the night"

Author: Anon. Appears in 146 hymnals Topics: Courage and Cheer First Line: My life flows on in endless song Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song; Above earth's lamentation, I catch the sweet, though far-off, hymn That hails a new creation; Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul How can I keep from singing? 2 What though my joys and comforts die? The Lord my Saviour liveth; What though the darkness gather round? Songs in the night be giveth; No storm can shake my inmost calm, While to that refuge clinging; Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth, How can I keep from singing? 3 I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin; I see the blue above it; And day by day this pathway smooths, Since first I learned to love it; The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, A fountain ever springing; All things are mine since I am his How can I keep from singing?
