ADDISON'S HYMN.

When all thy | mercies,

My rising soul sur- | veys, |

O my | God, |

I'm lost |

Transported with the view,

Inwonder, love and praise! | 1| 1|

[ocr errors]

O how shall words with | equal | warmth |
The | gratitude |◄ de- | clare, |

That glows with- | in my | ravished | heart ! |
| But thou canst | read it | there. |

[ocr errors]

Thy providence | my life sus- | tained, |
And all my wants re- | drest, |

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

When in the | silent | womb |I| lay, |

[merged small][merged small][ocr errors]

|

To all my weak com- | plaints and cries | Thy mercy | lent an | ear, |

Fre yet my | feeble | thoughts | had learned |
To form themselves in prayer. 17

Un-numbered comforts to my | sou! |11|
Thy tender care be- | stowed, |

Before my infant | heart | con- ceived |
From whom those | comforts | flowed.

When in the slippery | paths of | youth |

With heedless | steps || ran, |17|

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

Thine arm un- | seen | con- | veyed me | safe,

|

[merged small][merged small][ocr errors]

Through | hidden | dangers, || toils and | deaths, |

It gently cleared my | way, |

And through the pleasing | snares of | vice, |
More to be feared than they. 191991

When worn with sickness,
1

oft hast thou | With health re- | newed my face; | | And when in sins and sorrows | sunk, |

Revived my soul with | grace. |111|

Thybounteous | hand with | worldly | bliss |
Has made my cup run | o'er ; ||
And in a kind and | faithful | friend |
Has doubled all my store. 191991

Ten thousand | thousand | precious | gifts |
My daily thanks em- | ploy; |

Nor is the | least | a | cheerful | heart |
That tastes those | gifts with | joy. |111111

Through every | period of my life |
Thy goodness | I'll pur- | sue; |

And after death | in | distant | worlds, |
The glorious | theme re- | new. 191991
|

When | Nature | fails, | and | day and | night |
Di-vide thy | works no | more, |

My ever grateful | heart, |O| Lord, |
Thy mercy shall a- | dore. |17|11|

Through all e- | ternity

to thee |

A joyful song | I'll raise. |17|
But | Oh! | E- | ternity's | too | short |
To utter all thy | praise. |19|79|

PART OF THE BURIAL SERVICE.

From the Book of Common Prayer.

I am the resurrection

and the | life, |!

saith the Lord; || he that be- | lieveth in | me,

though he were | dead, || yet shall he | live: 7

and whoso- | ever | liveth, and be- | lieveth

[ocr errors]

in | me, | shall | never | die. ||19|

I know that my Re- | deemer | Inveth, |

Be-hold,

thou hast | made my days, as

it were a span | long and mine | age | is even as nothing in res- pect of thee; 991 and verily every | man | living|is| alto- | gether vanity; for man | walketh in a vain | shadow, and dis- | quieteth him- | self in | vain : | 1 he heapeth | up | riches and cannot tell [ who shall gather them.1111

A thousand years in thy | sight | are but as { yesterday; seeing that is past as a watch in the night. 11|11|As soon as thou | scatterest them they are | even as a- | sleep : |

Now is Christ | risen from the dead, | and be- | come the first fruits of them that | slept:
