Meter: S. M.
Verse 1:
How various and how new
Are thy compassions, Lord!
Each morning shall thy mercies show,鈥�
Each night thy truth record.
Verse 2:
Thy goodness, like the sun,
Dawned on our early days,
Ere infant reason had begun
To form our lips to praise.
Verse 3:
But we expect a day
Still brighter far than this,
When death shall bear our souls away
To realms of light and bliss.
Verse 4:
Nor shall that radiant day,
So joyfully begun,
In evening shadows die away
Beneath the setting sun.
Verse 5:
How various and how new
Are thy compassions, Lord!
Eternity thy love shall show,
And all thy truth record.
