Thy Mercies

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: Christ in Song #393 (1908) Topics: Special Occasions The Seasons 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 discerned From whom those blessings flowed. 3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes these gifts with joy. 4 O, how can words with equal warmth The gratitude declare That glows within my raptured heart? But thou canst read it there. 5 Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise: But O, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise! Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVA

Have we found life so passing fair, So grand to be, so sweet that we Should dread to go? Should dread to go? O Father, us in safety keep! We lay us down to sleep. 4 Some other hand the task can take, If so it seemeth best, the task By us begun; No work for which we need to wake In joy or grief, for life so brief, Beneath the sun, Beneath the sun. O Father, us in safety keep! We lay us down to sleep. Languages: English Tune Title: [We lay us calmly down to sleep]
