When I my various blessings see,
When I my various blessings see,
What a kind God has done for me,  
What a kind God has done for me,
My heart with gratitude should glow,  
My heart with gratitude should glow,
I love the spring from whence they flow.
I love the spring from whence they flow.


For me His only Son He sent,  
For me His only Son He sent,
For me the Savior underwent  
For me the Savior underwent
The cross, the agonies, the shame;  
The cross, the agonies, the shame;
Forever will I bless His name.
Forever will I bless His name.


And though I sin and grieve Him still,  
And though I sin and grieve Him still,
His mercy spares my soul from hell:  
His mercy spares my soul from hell:
Those gloomy regions of despair,  
Those gloomy regions of despair,
For devils to torment me there.  
For devils to torment me there.


If I'll obey His gentle voice,  
If I'll obey His gentle voice,
His heaven He offers to my choice.  
His heaven He offers to my choice.
My tongue His mercies shall record,  
My tongue His mercies shall record,
And all my actions praise the Lord.
And all my actions praise the Lord.}}

When I my various blessings see,
What a kind God has done for me,
My heart with gratitude should glow,
I love the spring from whence they flow.

For me His only Son He sent,
For me the Savior underwent
The cross, the agonies, the shame;
Forever will I bless His name.

And though I sin and grieve Him still,
His mercy spares my soul from hell:
Those gloomy regions of despair,
For devils to torment me there.

If I'll obey His gentle voice,
His heaven He offers to my choice.
My tongue His mercies shall record,
And all my actions praise the Lord.
