Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: TBP1997 #443 (1997) Tune Title: BELGRAVE 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 Oh how shall words with equal warmth
the gratitude declare
that glows within my enraptured heart?
But thou canst read it there.
3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ,
nor is the least a cheerful heart
that tastes these gifts with joy.
4 Through every season of my life
thy goodness I'll pursue,
and after death, in distant worlds,
the glorious theme renew.
5 When nature fails, and day and night
divide thy works no more,
my ever-grateful heart, O Lord,
thy mercy shall adore.
6 Through all eternity to thee
a joyful song I'll raise,
for oh! eternity's too short
to utter all thy praise. Topics: Eternal Life; God Mercy of; God Goodness of; Thankfulness; Worship Scripture: Psalm 146:2 Languages: English
