Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,003 hymnals 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 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the last a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
3 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I’ll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
4 Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song I’ll raise:
But O, eternity’s too short
To utter all Thy praise!
Amen.
