Description
When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.
Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart,
That tastes those gifts with joy.
Thro' ev'ry period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
Thro' all eternity, to Thee
A joyful song I'll raise;
But oh, eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise!
Words: Joseph Addison, 1712
Music: Alexander Reinagle, 1836
Tune: St Peter C.M.
