Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #489 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Fain would my soul with wonder trace
Thy mercies, O my God;
And tell the riches of thy grace--
The merits of thy blood.
2 With Israel's King, my heart would cry,
While I review thy ways,
Tell my, my Saviour, who am I,
That I should see thy face?
3 Form'd by thine hand, and form'd for thee,
I would be ever thine:
My Saviour, make my spirit free,
With beams of mercy shine.
4 Fain would my soul with rapture dwell
On thy redeeming grace;
O for a thousand tongues to tell
My dear Redeemer's praise.
