When all thy mercies, O my God!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,002 hymnals 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 O how shall words, with equal warmth, the gratitude declare that glows within my ravish'd heart! but Thou canst read it there. 3 Thy providence my life sustain'd, and all my wants redrest, when in the silent womb I lay, and hung upon the breast. 4 To all my weak complaints and cries thy mercy lent an ear, ere yet my feeble thoughts had learn'd to form themselves in pray’r. 5 Unnumber'd comforts to my soul thy tender care bestow'd, before my infant heart conceiv'd from whom these comforts flow'd. 6 When in the slipp’ry paths of youth with heedless steps I ran, thine arm, unseen, convey'd me safe, and led me up to man: 7 Through hidden dangers, toils, and deaths, it gently clear'd my way; and through the pleasing snares of vice, more to be feared than they. 8 When worn with sickness, oft hast thou with health renew'd my face; and, when in sins and sorrows sunk, reviv'd my soul with grace. 9 Thy bounteous hand with worldly bliss hath made my cup run o’er; and, in a kind and faithful friend, hath doubled all my store. 10 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts my daily thanks employ; nor is the least a cheerful heart, that tastes these gifts with joy. 11 Through ev’ry period of my life thy goodness I’ll proclaim; and after death, in distant worlds, resume the glorious theme. 12 When nature fails, and day and night divide thy works no more, my ever grateful heart, O Lord, thy mercy shall adore. 13 Through all eternity to thee a joyful song I’ll raise; for, oh! eternity’s too short to utter all thy praise.

Christ Is Gone Up

Author: John M. Neale Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: Christ is gone up; yet ere He passed Lyrics: 1. Christ is gone up; yet ere He passed From earth, in Heav’n to reign, He formed one holy Church to last Till He should come again. 2. His twelve Apostles first He made His ministers of grace; And they their hands on others laid, To fill in turn their place. 3. So age by age, and year by year, His grace was handed on; And still the holy Church is here, Although her Lord is gone. 4. Let those find pardon, Lord, from Thee, Whose love to her is cold: Bring wanderers in, and let there be One Shepherd and one fold. 5. And now we haste with thankful feet To seek our Savior’s face; And in the holy Church to meet, His chosen dwelling place. Used With Tune: ST.

Lord, Who Hast Sought Us Out, Unsought

Author: George Croly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lord, who hast sought us out, unsought, Arise, and make us whole: Teach us to love Thee as we ought, And give Thee all the soul. 2 Grant that all we, who meet, this hour, Within Thy house of prayer, May have Thy peace, and own Thy power, But spare our weakness, spare! 3 Give us Thy grace, Thy faith, Thy love, In all our hearts’ distress; O Thou! in whom we live and move, Look down, and hear, and bless. 4 Jesus! assume Messiah’s throne, Thy foes before Thee driven, Thy will, in grace and glory, done In earth as ’tis in Heaven.
