LyicsWHEN all thy mercies, O my God!
My rising souls surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love and praise.
Unnumbered comforts on my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom those comforts flowed.
When in the slippery paths of youth
With heedless steps I ran,
Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe,
And led me up to man.
Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
Through all eternity, to thee
A joyful song I'll raise;
But O! eternity's too short
To utter all thy praise!
