Hymn 98

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 141 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:30 First Line: How heavy is the night Lyrics: How heavy is the night That hangs upon our eyes, Till Christ with his reviving light Over our souls arise! Our guilty spirits dread To meet the wrath of Heav'n; But, in his righteousness arrayed, We see our sins forgiv'n. Unholy and impure Are all our thoughts and ways; His hands infected nature cure With sanctifying grace. The powers of hell agree To hold our souls in vain; He sets the sons of bondage free, And breaks the cursed chain Lord, we adore thy ways To bring us near to God; Thy sovereign power, thy healing grace, And thine atoning blood.

Her noblest life my spirit draws from his dear wounds and bleeding side. 5 I would forever speak his name in sounds to mortal ears unknown, with angels join to praise the Lamb, and worship at his Father's throne.

Hymn 97

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 87 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:30 First Line: Buried in shadows of the night Lyrics: Buried in shadows of the night We lie till Christ restores the light; Wisdom descends to heal the blind, And chase the darkness of the mind. Our guilty souls are drowned in tears Till his atoning blood appears; Then we awake from deep distress, And sing, "The Lord our Righteousness." Our very frame is mixed with sin, His Spirit makes our natures clean Such virtues from his suff'rings flow, At once to cleanse and pardon too. Jesus beholds where Satan reigns, Binding his slaves in heavy chains; He sets the pris'ners free, and breaks The iron bondage from our necks. Poor helpless worms in thee possess Grace, wisdom, power, and righteousness; Thou art our mighty All, and we Give our whole selves, O Lord, to thee.
