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. Oh, how shall words with equal warmth The gratitude declare That glows within my ravished heart, But you can read it there. 2. To all my weak complaints and cries Your mercy lent an ear, Before my feeble tho'ts had learned To form themselves in prayer. Thru' hidden dangers, toils, and deaths It gently cleared my way, And thru' the pleasing snares of vice More to be feared than they. 3. When worn with sickness, often you With health renewed my face, And when in sins and sorrows sunk, Revived my soul with grace. Your bounteous hand with worldly bliss Has made my cup run o'er, And in a kind and faithful friend Has doubled all my store. 4. Thru ev'ry period of my life Your goodness I'll pursue, And after death in distant worlds The glorious theme renew. When nature fails, and day and night Divide your works no more, My ever-grateful heart, O Lord, Your mercy shall adore. Source:Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #319
