How vast is the tribute I owe

Meter: Irregular Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances Sickness and Recovery Lyrics: 1 How vast is the tribute I owe Of gratitude, homage, and praise To the giver of all I possess, The life and the length of my days! 2 When the sorrows I boded were come, I pour'd out my sighs and my tears; And to him, who alone can relieve, My soul breath'd her vows and her pray'rs. 3 When my heart throbb'd with pain and alarm, When paleness my cheek overspread, When sickness pervaded my frame;-- Then my soul on my Maker was staid. 4 When death's awful image was nigh, And no mortal was able to save; Thou didst brighten the valley of death, And illumine the gloom of the grave. 5 In mercy thy presence dispels the shades of calamity's night, And turns the sad scene of despair to a morning of joy and delight. 6 Great source of my comforts restor'd! Thou healer and balm of my woes! Thou hope an desire of my soul! On thy mercy I'll ever repose. 7 How boundless the gratitude due To thee, O thou God of my praise! The fountain of all I possess, The life and the light of my days!
