Sheet music
- 1When all Thy mercies, O my God,(When all Thy mercies, O my God,)(When all Thy mercies, O my God,)My rising soul surveys,Transported with the view,(Transported with the view,)I’m lost In wonder, love, and praise.
- 2Unnumbered comforts on my soul(Unnumbered comforts on my soul)(Unnumbered comforts on my soul)Thy tender care bestowed,Before my infant heart conceived(Before my infant heart conceived)From whom those comforts flowed.
- 3Ten thousand thousand precious gifts(Ten thousand thousand precious gifts)(Ten thousand thousand precious gifts)My daily thanks employ;Nor is the least a cheerful heart(Nor is the least a cheerful heart)That tastes those gifts with joy.
- 4Thru all eternity, to Thee(Thru all eternity, to Thee)(Thru all eternity, to Thee)A joyful song I’ll raise;But O eternity’s too short(But O eternity’s too short)To utter all Thy praise!
