**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 Thy Providence my life sustained,
And all my wants redressed,
While in the silent womb I lay,
And hung upon the breast.

3 To all my weak complaints and cries
Thy mercy lent an ear,
Ere yet my feeble thoughts had learned
To form themselves in prayer.

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

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

6 Through hidden dangers, toils, and deaths,
It gently cleared my way;
And through the pleasing snares of vice,
More to be feared than they.

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

8 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the last a cheerful heart,
That takes those gifts with joy.

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

10 Through all eternity, to Thee
A grateful song I'll raise;
But O eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise!
