Who never knew thy grace;
But our loud songs shall still record
The wonders of thy praise.

And bow th' aspiring Greek.

What shall the dying sinner do
That seeks relief for all his woe?
Where shall the guilty conscience find
Ease for the torment of the mind?

Of our Redeemer, God?
Shall infidels reproach his laws,

Have restless sin and raging hell
Struck all our comforts dead?

While men lie grov'lling here
His hopes are fixed above the sky,
And faith forbids his fear.

To visit earthly things,
With scorn divine he turns his eyes
From towers of haughty kings.

What timorous worms we mortals are!

We wait the visits of thy grace,
Our soul's desire is to thy name,
And the remembrance of thy face.

And Jesus is the child.

The city of my gospel foes
Shall be a field of blood.

What mighty man, or mighty God,
Comes travelling in state,
Along the Idumean road,
Away from Bozrah's gate?
Hymn 27

[Death may dissolve my body now,
And bear my spirit home;
Why do my minutes move so slow,
Nor my salvation come?

Blest be the everlasting God,
The Father of our Lord;
Be his abounding mercy praised,
His majesty adored.

All mortal vanities, begone,
Nor tempt my eyes, nor tire my ears;
Behold, amidst th' eternal throne,
A vision of the Lamb appears.
Hymn 24
© Isaac Watts
In vain the wealthy mortals toil,
And heap their shining dust in vain,
Look down and scorn the humble poor,
And boast their lofty hills of gain.
Hymn 23 part 2
© Isaac Watts
Must all the charms of nature, then,
So hopeless to salvation prove?
Can hell demand, can heav'n condemn,
The man whom Jesus deigns to love?
Hymn 23 part 1
© Isaac Watts
Absent from flesh! O blissful thought!
What unknown joys this moment brings!
Freed from the mischiefs sin has brought,
From pains, and fears, and all their springs.
Hymn 23
© Isaac Watts
Descend from heav'n, immortal Dove,
Stoop down and take us on thy wings,
And mount and bear us far above
The reach of these inferior things:
Hymn 22 part 2
© Isaac Watts
What vain desires and passions vain
Attend this mortal clay!
Oft have they pierced my soul with pain,
And drawn my heart astray.
