Praise for the Blessings of Providence and Grace

Verse 1

Almighty Father, gracious Lord, Kind guardian of my days, Thy mercies let my heart record In songs of grateful praise.

Verse 2

In life's first dawn, my tender frame Was thy indulgent care, Long ere I could pronounce thy name, Or breathe the infant prayer.

Verse 3

Each rolling year new favors brought From thy exhaustless store; But, ah! in vain my laboring thought Would count thy mercies o'er.

Verse 4

While sweet reflection, through my day, Thy bounteous hand would trace, Still dearer blessings claim thy praise, The blessings of thy grace.

Verse 5

Yes, I adore thee, gracious Lord! For favors more divine; That I have known thy sacred word, Where all thy glories shine.

Verse 6

Lord, when this mortal frame decays, And every weakness dies, Complete the wonders of thy grace, And raise me to the skies.
