Lyics

LORD! when my raptur'd 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!
