Jesus, in thee our eyes behold

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #260 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ascension of Christ; Christ His ascension; Spirit given at Christ's ascension Lyrics: Jesus, in thee our eyes behold A thousand glories more, Than the rich gems and polished gold The sons of Aaron wore. They first their own burnt-offerings brought, To purge themselves from sin; Thy life was pure without a spot, And all thy nature clean. [Fresh blood as constant as the day Was on their altar spilt; But thy one offering takes away For ever all our guilt.] [Their priesthood ran through several hands, For mortal was their race; Thy never-changing office stands Eternal as thy days.] [Once in the circuit of a year, With blood, but not his own, Aaron within the veil appears Before the golden throne: But Christ, by his own powerful blood, Ascends above the skies, And in the presence of our God Shows his own sacrifice.] Jesus, the King of glory, reigns On Zion's heav'nly hill; Looks like a lamb that has been slain, And wears his priesthood still. He ever lives to intercede Before his Father's face: Give him, my soul, thy cause to plead, Nor doubt the Father's grace. Scripture: Hebrews 7 Languages: English

Go, worship at Immanuel's feet

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #266 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Ascension of Christ; Christ His ascension; Spirit given at Christ's ascension Lyrics: Go, worship at Immanuel's feet, See in his face what wonders meet! Earth is too narrow to express His worth, his glory, or his grace. [The whole creation can afford But some faint shadows of my Lord; Nature, to make his beauties known, Must mingle colors not her own.] [Is he compared to wine or bread? Dear Lord, our souls would thus be fed That flesh, that dying blood of thine, Is bread of life, is heav'nly wine.] [Is he a tree? The world receives Salvation from his healing leaves; That righteous branch, that fruitful bough, Is David's root and offspring too.] [Is he a rose? Not Sharon yields Such fragrancy in all her fields: Or if the lily he assume, The valleys bless the rich perfume.] [Is he a vine? His heav'nly root Supplies the boughs with life and fruit O let a lasting union join My soul the branch to Christ the vine!] [Is he the head? Each member lives, And owns the vital powers he gives; The saints below and saints above Joined by his Spirit and his love.] [Is he a fountain? There I bathe, And heal the plague of sin and death These waters all my soul renew, And cleanse my spotted garments too.] [Is he a fire? He'll purge my dross; But the true gold sustains no loss: Like a refiner shall he sit, And tread the refuse with his feet.] [Is he a rock? How firm he proves! The Rock of ages never moves; Yet the sweet streams that from him flow Attend us all the desert through.] [Is he a way? He leads to God, The path is drawn in lines of blood; There would I walk with hope and zeal, Till I arrive at Zion's hill.] [Is he a door? I'll enter in Behold the pastures large and green, A paradise divinely fair; None but the sheep have freedom there.] [Is he designed the corner-stone, For men to build their heav'n upon? I'll make him my foundation too, Nor fear the plots of hell below.] [Is he a temple? I adore Th' indwelling majesty and power And still to this most holy place, Whene'er I pray, I turn my face.] [Is he a star? He breaks the night Piercing the shades with dawning light; I know his glories from afar, I know the bright, the morning star.] [Is he a sun? His beams are grace, His course is joy and righteousness; Nations rejoice when he appears To chase their clouds and dry their tears. O let me climb those higher skies, Where storms and darkness never rise! There he displays his power abroad, And shines and reigns th' incarnate God.] Nor earth, nor seas, nor sun, nor stars, Nor heav'n, his full resemblance bears; His beauties we can never trace, Till we behold him face to face.
