1 Our souls with pleasing wonder view
The bounties of Thy grace;
How much bestowed, how much reserved,
For them that seek Thy face!
2 Thy liberal hand with worldly bliss
Oft makes their cup run o’er;
And in the covenant of Thy love
They find diviner store.
3 Here mercy hides their numerous sins;
Here grace their souls renews;
Here Thine own reconcilèd face
Doth heav’nly beams diffuse.
4 But O! what treasures yet unknown
Are lodged in worlds to come?
If these th’enjoyment of the Way,
How happy is their home?
5 And what shall mortal worms reply?
Or how such goodness own?
But ’tis our joy that, Lord, to Thee
Thy servants’ hearts are known.
6 Thine eyes shall read those grateful thoughts,
No language can express;
Yet when our liveliest thanks we pay,
Our debts do most increase.
7 Since time’s too short, all gracious God,
To utter half Thy praise,
Lord, to the honor of Thy name
Eternal hymns we’ll raise.
