"When All Thy Mercies, O My God"
                         by Joseph Addison, 1672-1719
                                  Text From:
                              THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL
                 (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941)
                                       


        1. When all Thy mercies, O my God,
        My rising soul surveys,
        Transported with the view, I'm lost
        In wonder, love, and praise.

        2. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
        My daily thanks employ;
        Nor is the least a cheerful heart
        That tastes those gifts with joy.

        3. Through every period of my life
        Thy goodness I'll pursue
        And after death, in distant worlds,
        The glorious theme renew.

        4. When nature fails, and day and night
        Divide Thy works no more,
        My ever grateful heart, O Lord,
        Thy mercies shall adore.

        5. Through all eternity to Thee
        A joyful song I'll raise;
        But, oh! eternity's too short
        To utter all Thy praise.
