Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #234 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: How various and how new Lyrics: 1 How various and how new
Are thy compassions, Lord!
Each morning shall thy mercies shew,
Each night thy love record.
2 Thy goodness, like the sun,
Dawn'd on our early days,
Ere infant reason had begun
To form our lips to praise.
3 Each object we beheld
Gave pleasure to our eyes;
And nature all our senses held
In bands of sweet surprise.
4 But pleasures more refin'd
Awaited that blest day,
When light arose upon our mind
To chase our sins away.
5 How various and how new
Are thy compassions, Lord!
Eternity thy truth shall shew,
And all thy love record. Topics: The Christian His Conversion Languages: English
