Hewitt Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #64 (1904) First Line: Numbering all thy kingdom, op'nings to be and do Refrain First Line: Numbering, numbering, numbering all Lyrics: 1 Numbering all thy kingdom, op'nings to be and do, Winning in life's great warfare, victories good and true; Numbering all thy failures, vanities, doubts, and sin, Needing the blood of Jesus, needing his grace within. Chorus: Numbering, numbering, numbering all, Sunbeams and raindrops as softly they fall; Numbering, numbering, numbering all, God's hand is numbering, numbering all. 2 Numbering all thy treasures, numbering all thy cares, All of thy low heart-breathings, all of thy spoken pray'rs; Numbering joy's bright moments, numbering clouded days, All of thy glad thanksgivings, all of thy songs of praise. [Chorus] 3 Numbering all thy footsteps, guiding them in his way, Wonderful gifts of mercy, infinite love display; Caring for all thy sorrows, numbering ev'ry tear, Whispering in the darkness "soon will thy light appear." [Chorus] 4 Numbering all thine off'rings, services freely brought, Gratitude's willing tributes, lovingly, humbly wrought; Sowing the seeds of blessing, gleaning the Master's wheat, Garnering sheaves so precious, laying them at his feet. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Numbering all thy kingdom, op'nings to be and do]
