When All Thy Mercies, O My God

When all thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.

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

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

When worn with sickness oft hast thou
With health renewed my face
And when in sins and sorrows sunk,
Revived my soul with grace.

Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue,
And after death, in distant worlds
The glorious theme renew.

Through all eternity to thee
A joyful song I'll raise
For O, eternity's too short
To utter all thy praise.
