When all thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: TBP1997 #443 (1997) Person Name: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 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.
