Mistaken souls, that dream of heaven

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #219 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Mistaken souls, that dream of heaven, And make their empty boast Of inward joys and sins forgiven, While they are slaves to lust! 2 Vain are our fancies, airy flights, If faith be cold and dead; None but a living power unites To Christ, the living Head;-- 3 A faith that changes all the heart; A faith that works by love; That bids all sinful joys depart, And lifts the thoughts above. 4 Faith must obey our Father’s will, As well as trust His grace; A pardoning God requires us still To perfect holiness.

Mistaken souls! that dream of heaven

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #280 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Mistaken souls, that dream of heav'n, And make their empty boast Of inward joys, and sins forgiv'n, While they are slaves to lust! Vain are our fancies, airy flights, If faith be cold and dead; None but a living power unites To Christ the living head. 'Tis faith that changes all the heart; 'Tis faith tbat works by love; That bids all sinful joys depart, And lifts the thoughts above. 'Tis faith that conquers earth and hell By a celestial power; This is the grace that shall prevail In the decisive hour. [Faith must obey her Father's will, As well as trust his grace; A pard'ning God is jealous still For his own holiness.] When from the curse he sets us free, He makes our natures clean; Nor would he send his Son to be The minister of sin. [His Spirit purifies our frame, And seals our peace with God; Jesus and his salvation came By water and by blood.] Topics: Prayer heard; Providence in air, earth, and sea; God his being, attributes, and providence; Gentiles church; Blessings of the country; God of nature and grace; Praise and prayer public; Praise for rain; Prayer and praise, public; Psalm for husbandmen; Public prayer and praise; Rain from heaven; Seasons of the year; Spring and summer; Spring of the year; Summer; Weather Scripture: Psalm 65 Languages: English
