LyicsLORD, when my raptured thought surveys
Creation's beauties o'er,
All nature joins to teach thy praise,
And bid my soul adore.
Where'er I turn my gazing eyes,
Thy radiant footsteps shine;
Ten thousand pleasing wonders rise,
And speak their source divine.
On me thy providence hath shone
With gentle, smiling rays;
O let my lips and life make known
Thy goodness and thy praise.
All-bounteous Lord, thy grace impart;
O teach me to improve
Thy gifts, with ever-grateful heart,
And crown them with thy love!
