is a sublime expression OF gratitude 10
the Great Giver Of al good:
When AL Thy mercies, o my Cod,
Ny rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view. I'm lost
In wonder, love. and praise.
Oh, how shall words with equal warmth
The gratitude declare
That giOWs within my ravished heart?
But Thou canst read II there.
Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
Ny daily thanks employ;
Nor Is the least a thankful heart
That tastes those gifts with 10Y.
Through every privilege cf my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue,
And after death in distant worlds
The glorious theme renew.
When nature fails and day and night
Divide Thy works no more,
.4y ever-grateful heart. o Eord.
Thy mercy shah adore.
Through all eternity 10 Thee
A joyful song I'll raise;
But, Oh, eternity too short
To utter al Thy praise.
