When all thy mercies, O my God

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #XLII (1789) Topics: Blessings temporal and spiritual Gratitude to God 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 learnt To form themselves in pray'r. 5 Unnumber'd comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestow'd, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those 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 fear'd than they. 8 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes these gifts with joy. 9 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I’ll pursue, And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 10 When nature fails, and day and night Divide thy works no more; My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. 11 Through all eternity, to thee A grateful song I’ll raise; For, oh! eternity’s too short To utter all thy praise.

My ears attend the cry! "Ye living men, come view the ground "Where ye must shortly lie. 2 "Princes, this clay must be your bed, "In spite of all your pow'rs; "The tall, the wise, the rev'rend head Must lie as low as ours." 3 Great God! is this our certain doom? And are we still secure? Still walking downwards to our tomb, And yet prepare no more? 4 Then teach us, Lord, th' uncertain sum Of our short days to mind; That to true wisdom all our hearts May ever be inclin'd.
