The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#77

77. When all thy mercies, O my God!

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 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart discerned
From whom those comforts flowed.

3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart,
That tastes those gifts with joy.

4 O, how can words with equal warmth
The gratitude declare
That glow within my raptured heart?
But thou canst read it there.

5 Through all eternity, to thee
A joyful song I'll raise:
But O, eternity's too short
To utter all thy praise!
