Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love and praise.

Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom those comforts flowed.

With heedless steps l ran,
Thine arm unseen conveyed me safe,
And led me up to man.

Thy goodness I'll pursue,
And after death in distant worlds
The glorious theme renew.

A joyful song I'll raise;
But oh! Eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise.
