When all thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: EH1982 #415 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When all your 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 fervent 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 those gifts with joy. 4 When nature fails, and day and night divide thy works no more, my ever grateful heart, O Lord, thy mercy shall adore. 5 Through all eternity, to thee a joyful song I'll raise; but oh, eternity's too short to utter all thy praise!

Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight, Alleluia! 5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always Alleluia! Amen.

In the help we give our neighbor, God's will be done. In our world-wide task of caring for the hungry and despairing, in the harvests we are sharing, God's will be done. 3 For the harvests of the Spirit, thanks be to God. For the good we all inherit, thanks be to God. For the wonders that astound us, for the truths that still confound us, most of all that love has found us, thanks be to God.
