Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #415 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: The Hymnal 1982 Lyrics: 1 When all your 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 fervent heart?
But thou canst read it there.
3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ;
nor is the least a cheerful heart
that tastes those gifts with joy.
4 When nature fails, and day and night
divide thy works no more,
my ever grateful heart, O Lord,
thy mercy 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!
