Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 997 hymnals Matching Instances: 14 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 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3 When worn with sickness, oft hast thou With health renewed my face; And, when in sins and sorrows sunk, Revived my soul with grace. 4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through ev'ry period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity to thee A joyful song I'll raise; For O, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise.
