When all Thy mercies, O my God by Frederick A. Ouseley — Lyrics

VERSE 1 When all thy mercies, O my God, my rising soul surveys, transported with the view I'm lost in wonder, love and praise. VERSE 2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul thy tender care bestowed, before my infant heart conceived from whom those comforts flowed.

About When all Thy mercies, O my God

"When all Thy mercies, O my God" is a profound hymn of thanksgiving that traces God's providence through every season of life. The lyrics guide the congregation from the quiet reflection of a "rising soul" to an overwhelming sense of wonder, love, and praise. It is a piece that asks us to pause and count the "unnumbered comforts" we have received, even before we were old enough to understand where they came from.

In the choir loft, this hymn serves beautifully during the Offertory or as a post-Communion reflection, where its steady, comforting meter allows the voices to blend naturally. The verses move through moments of sickness, sorrow, and worldly blessing, making it deeply relatable for the faithful in the pews. As the song builds toward its final promise to raise a joyful song through all eternity, it leaves the church with a lasting sense of gratitude and peace.
