When All Thy Mercies
- Text:
- Joseph Addison
- Music:
- Stephen Barnes
1. When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, Im lost
In wonder, love, and praise
Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From Whom those comforts flowed.
Chorus: Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song Ill raise
For oh, eternitys too short
To utter all Thy praise!
2. When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou
With health renewed my face
And when in sins and sorrow sunk
Renewed my soul with grace
Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.(Repeat chorus)
3. Through every period of my life
Thy goodness Ill pursue,
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.(Repeat chorus)
