When All Thy Mercies

When All Thy Mercies

When all Thy mercies, oh my God

My rising soul surveys,

Transported with the view I'm lost

In wonder, love, and praise.

Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care bestowed

Before my infant heart could know

From whom those comforts flowed.

When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou

With health, renewed my face,

And when in sins and sorrows bowed,
Revived my soul with grace.

Through every period of my life

Thy goodness I'll pursue,

And after death, in distant worlds,

The glorious theme renew.

from Fernando Ortega's album "The Breaking of the Dawn" 1998
