When All Thy Mercies, O my God

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. O how shall words, with equal warmth,
The gratitude declare
That glows within my ravished heart!
But thou canst read it there.

3. Unnumbered comforts to my soul.
Thy tender care bestowed.
Before my infant heart conceived.
From whom these comforts flowed.

4. When in the slippery paths of youth.
With headless steps I ran.
Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe,
And led me up to man.

5. When in the slippery paths of youth.
With headless steps I ran.
Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe,
And led me up to man.

6. When nature fails, and day and Nights
Divide thy work no more,
My ever grateful heart, O Lord,
Thy mercy shall adore

7. Ten Thousand, Thousand Precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart.
That tastes those gifts with joy
