LyicsHOW various and how new
Are thy compassion's, Lord!
Each morning shall thy mercies show,
Each night thy truth record.
Thy goodness, like the sun,
Dawn'd on our early days,
Ere infant reason had begun
To form our lips to praise.
Each object we beheld
Gave pleasure to our eyes;
And nature all our senses held
In bands of sweet surprise.
But pleasures more refin'd
Awaited that bless'd day
When light arose upon our mind,
And chas'd our sins away.
How new thy mercies, then!
How sovereign and how free!
Our souls that had been dead in sin,
Were made alive to Thee.
