A Thankful Heart

When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.

O how shall words, with equal warmth,
The gratitude declare
That glows within my thankful heart?
But Thou canst read it there.

Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song I'll raise:
For oh! Eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise.

      -Joseph Addison
