6. Through every period of my life 7. Through all eternity, to thee
thy goodness I’ll pursue, a joyful song I’ll raise;
and after death, in distant worlds, for, oh, eternity’s too short
the glorious theme renew. to utter all thy praise!

This hymn is from The Spectator, no. 453, in 1712. The accompanying essay begins, “There is not a more
pleasing Exercise of the Mind than Gratitude,” later declaring, “If Gratitude is due from Man to Man,
how much more from Man to his Maker?”
Words: 1712 | Joseph Addison (1672-1719) Music: Contemplation | Frederick A. G. Ouseley (1825-1889)
