When All The Powers Of Nature Fail
Author: Thomas Jervis Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When all the powers of nature fail;
When sickness shall my heart assail,
Shall every nobler part pervade,
And every earthly wish shall fade:
2 When pain, of every nerve possessed,
Shall vibrate in my throbbing breast;
Or languor o’er my senses steal,
And medicine lose its power to heal:
3 When death shall chill the vital heat;
When this fond heart shall cease to beat,
This faltering tongue forget to speak,
A mortal paleness on my cheek:
4 When my dim eyes are sunk in death,
And God who gave shall take my breath;
May He sustain my fainting heart,
And comfort to my soul impart.
5 May His bright presence bring relief
From fear, despondency, and grief:
His cheering voice direct my way
To regions of eternal day. Used With Tune: PARK STREET Text Sources: A Selection of Sacred Poetry (Philadelphia: Thomas Dobson, 1812)

Thomas Jervis
1748 - 1833 Author of "When All The Powers Of Nature Fail" in The Cyber Hymnal Jervis, Thomas, son of a Presbyterian Minister of the same name, was born at Ipswich in 1748, and educated for the Ministry at Hoxton. In 1770 he was appointed classical and mathematical tutor at the Exeter Academy. From 1772 to 1783 he was tutor to the sons of the Earl of Shelburne, at Bowood, where Dr. Priestley was librarian. In the latter year Jervis succeeded Dr. A. Rees at St. Thomas's Southwark, moving in 1796, after the death of Dr. Kippis, to the Princes' St. Chapel, Westminster. From 1808 to 1818 he was minister at the Mill Hill Chapel, Leeds. After his retirement he lived in the neighbourhood of London, and died there in 1833. Jervis was one of the four editors of A Collection of Hymns & Psalms for Public & Private Worship, London, 1795. He contributed 17 hymns to the 1st ed., and 4 to its Supplement, 1807. Of these several are found in later Unitarian collections in Great Britain and America, including:—
1. God to correct a guilty world. Divine Providence.
2. Great God, Thine attributes divine. Confidence in God.
3. Lord of the world's majestic frame. Praise a Duty.
4. Shall I forsake that heavenly Friend? Constancy desired.
5. Sweet is the friendly voice which [that] speaks. Peace to the Penitent.
6. Thou, Lord, in mercy wilt regard. Penitence.
7. With sacred joy we lift our eyes. Divine Worship. This is given in Laudes Domini, N.Y., 1884, as: "With joy we lift our eyes."
These hymns all date from 1795, and the most popular are Nos. 4 and 6. [Rev. Valentine D. Davis, B.A.]
