6 Lord, since in my advancing age I've acted on life's busy stage, Thy thoughts of love to me surmount The power of numbers to recount.
7 I could survey the ocean o'er, And count each sand that makes the shore, Before my swiftest thoughts could trace The numerous wonders of thy grace.
8 These on my heart are still impress'd, With these I give my eyes to rest; And at my waking hour I find God and his love possess my mind.
