When all thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #H1 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When all thy mercies, O my God! Lyrics: When all thy mercies, O my God! my rising soul surveys Transported with the view, I’m lost in wonder, love, and praise. O how shall words, with equal warmth, the gratitude declare That glows within my ravished heart! but Thou canst read it there. Thy Providence my life sustained, and all my wants redrest, When in the silent womb I lay, and hung upon the breast. To all my weak complaints and cries thy mercy lent an ear, Ere yet my feeble thoughts had learned to form themselves in pray’r. Unnumbered comforts to my soul thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived from whom these comforts flowed. When in the slipp’ry paths of youth with heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, and led me up to man: Through hidden dangers, toils, and deaths, it gently cleared my way; And through the pleasing snares of vice, more to be feared than they. When worn with sickness, oft hast thou with health renewed my face; And, when in sins and sorrows sunk, revived my soul with grace. Thy bounteous hand with worldly bliss hath made my cup run o’er; And, in a kind and faithful friend, hath doubled all my store. Ten thousand thousand precious gifts my daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, that tastes these gifts with joy. Through ev’ry period of my life thy goodness I’ll proclaim; And after death, in distant worlds, resume the glorious theme. When nature fails, and day and night divide thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, thy mercy shall adore. Through all eternity to thee a joyful song I’ll raise; For, oh! eternity’s too short to utter all thy praise. Languages: English

Psalm 55

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.124 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O God, my refuge, hear my cries Lyrics: O God, my refuge, hear my cries, "Behold my flowing tears; For earth and hell my hurt devise, And triumph in my fears. Their rage is leveled at my life, My soul with guilt they load, And fill my thoughts with inward strife, To shake my hope in God. With inward pain my heart-strings sound, I groan with ev'ry breath; Horror and fear beset me round Amongst the shades of death. O were I like a feathered dove, And innocence had wings, I'd fly, and make a long remove From all these restless things. Let me to some wild desert go, And find a peaceful home; Where storms of malice never blow, Temptations never come. Vain hopes, and vain inventions all To 'scape the rage of hell! The mighty God on whom I call, Can save me here as well. By morning light I'll seek his face, At noon repeat my cry; The night shall hear me ask his grace, Nor will he long deny. God shall preserve my soul from fear, Or shield me when afraid; Ten thousand angels must appear, If he command their aid. I cast my burdens on the Lord, The Lord sustains them all; My courage rests upon his word, That saints shall never fall. My highest hopes shall not be vain, My lips shall spread his praise; While cruel and deceitful men Scarce live out half their days.

Bless, O my soul, the God of grace; His favors claim thy highest praise: Why should the wonders he hath wrought Be lost in silence and forgot? 'Tis he, my soul, that sent his Son To die for crimes which thou hast done; He owns the ransom, and forgives The hourly follies of our lives. The vices of the mind he heals, And cures the pains that nature feels Redeems the soul from hell, and saves Our wasting life from threat'ning graves. Our youth decayed, his power repairs; His mercy crowns our growing years; He satisfies our mouth with good, And fills our hopes with heav'nly food. He sees th' oppressor and th' oppressed, And often gives the suff'rers rest; But will his justice more display In the last great rewarding day. [His power he showed by Moses' hands, And gave to Isr'el his commands; But sent his truth and mercy down To all the nations by his Son. Let the whole earth his power confess, Let the whole earth adore his grace; The Gentile with the Jew shall join In work and worship so divine.] Topics: Goodness of God; God mercy and truth; Mercies and truth of God; Mercies common and special; Afflictions gentle; Angels praise the Lord; Compassion of God; God goodness and mercy; God his universal dominion; Mercies spiritual and temporal Scripture: Psalm 103:1-7 Languages: English

I choose the path of heav'nly truth, And glory in my choice; Not all the riches of the earth Could make me so rejoice. The testimonies of thy grace I set before my eyes; Thence I derive my daily strength, And there my comfort lies. If once I wander from thy path, I think upon my ways, Then turn my feet to thy commands, And trust thy pard'ning grace. Now I am thine, for ever thine, O save thy servant, Lord; Thou art my shield, my hiding-place; My hope is in thy word. Thou hast inclined this heart of mine Thy statutes to fulfil; And thus, till mortal life shall end, Would I perform thy will.
