Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: LD1888 #161 (1888) Person Name: Joseph Addison First Line: When all thy mercies, O my God! Lyrics: 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 Unnumbered comforts, to my soul, Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3 When, in the slippery paths of youth, With heedless steps, I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 4 Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through every period of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise: For, oh, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise!

Traveler's Hymn

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: LD1888 #173 (1888) Person Name: Joseph Addison First Line: How are thy servants blest, O Lord! Lyrics: 1 How are thy servants blest, O Lord! How sure is their defence! Eternal wisdom is their guide, Their help, omnipotence. 2 In foreign realms, and lands remote, Supported by thy care, Through burning climes they pass unhurt, And breathe in tainted air. 3 When by the dreadful tempest borne High on the broken wave, They know thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. 4 The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to thy will; The sea, that roars at thy command, At thy command is still. 5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, Thy goodness we adore; We praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more. 6 Our life, whilst thou preservest life, A sacrifice shall be; And death, when death shall be our lot, Shall join our souls to thee.

And the blood-drops trickling slow; But with diadem upon him, And the sceptre in his hand, And the dead all ranged before him, Raised from death, hell, sea, and land. 3 He is coming, he is coming, Not as once he wandered through All the hostile land of Judah, With his followers poor and few: But with all the holy angels Waiting round his judgment-seat, And the chosen twelve apostles Sitting crowned at his feet. 4 He is coming, he is coming; Let his lowly first estate, And his tender love, so teach us That in faith and hope we wait, Till in glory eastward burning, Our redemption draweth near; And we see the sign in heaven Of our Judge and Saviour dear.
