Each morning shall thy mercies shew, Each night thy truth record. 2 Thy goodness, like the sun, Dawn'd on our early days, Ere infant-reason had begun To form our lips to praise. 3 Each object we beheld Gave pleasure to our eyes; And nature all our senses held In bands of sweet surprise. 4 But pleasures more refin'd Awaited that bless'd day, When light arose upon our mind, And chas'd our sins away. 5 How new thy mercies then! How sovereign and how free! Our souls that had been dead in sin, Were made alive to thee. Pause. 6 Now we expect a day Still brighter far than this, When death shall bear our souls away To realms of light and bliss. 7 There rapturous scenes of joy Shall burst upon our sight: And every pain, and tear, and sigh, Be drown'd in endless night. 8 Beneath thy balmy sing, O sun of righteousness, Our happy souls shall sit and sing The wonders of thy grace. 9 Nor shall that radiant day So joyfully begun, In evening shadows die away, Beneath the setting sun. 10 How various and how new Are thy compassions, Lord! Eternity thy love shall shew, And all thy truth record. Topics: Time and Eternity; Mercies constant succession Scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23 Languages: English
