Psalm 147 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.333 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O Britain, praise thy mighty God Lyrics: O Britain, praise thy mighty God, And make his honors known abroad, He bid the ocean round thee flow; Not bars of brass could guard thee so. Thy children are secure and blest; Thy shores have peace, thy cities rest; He feeds thy sons with finest wheat, And adds his blessing to their meat. Thy changing seasons he ordains, Thine early and thy latter rains; His flakes of snow like wool he sends, And thus the springing corn defends. With hoary frost he strews the ground; His hail descends with clatt'ring sound: Where is the man so vainly bold That dares defy his dreadful cold? He bids the southern breezes blow; The ice dissolves, the waters flow: But he hath nobler works and ways To call the Britons to his praise. To all the isle his laws are shown, His gospel through the nation known; He hath not thus revealed his word To every land: praise ye the Lord.

To God the Father, God the Son

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.340 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be honor, praise, and glory giv'n, By all on earth, and all in heav'n. Languages: English

Hymn 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.2 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Ere the blue heav'ns were stretched abroad Lyrics: Ere the blue heav'ns were stretched abroad, From everlasting was the Word: With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be adored. By his own power were all things made; By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's head, And angels fly at his command. Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars: Thy generation who can tell, Or count the numbers of thy years? But lo! he leaves those heav'nly forms, The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may hold converse with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. Mortals with joy beheld his face, Th' eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth! how full of grace! When through his eyes the Godhead shone. Archangels leave their high abode To learn new mysteries here, and tell The loves of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel. Scripture: John 1:1 Languages: English

Hymn 4 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.4.2 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Questions and doubts be heard no more Lyrics: Questions and doubts be heard no more, Let Christ and joy be all our theme; His Spirit seals his gospel sure, To every soul that trusts in him. Jesus, thy witness speaks within; The mercy which thy words reveal Refines the heart from sense and sin, And stamps its own celestial seal. 'Tis God's inimitable hand That molds and forms the heart anew; Blasphemers can no more withstand, But bow, and own thy doctrine true. The guilty wretch that trusts thy blood Finds peace and pardon at the cross; The sinful soul, averse to God, Believes and loves his Maker's laws. Learning and wit may cease their strife, When miracles with glory shine; The voice that calls the dead to life Must be almighty and divine. Scripture: 1 John 5:10 Languages: English

Hymn 11

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.11 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: There was an hour when Christ rejoiced Lyrics: There was an hour when Christ rejoiced, And spoke his joy in words of praise: "Father, I thank thee, mighty God, Lord of the earth, and heav'ns, and seas. "I thank thy sovereign power and love That crowns my doctrine with success, And makes the babes in knowledge learn The heights, and breadths, and lengths of grace. "But all this glory lies concealed From men of prudence and of wit; The prince of darkness blinds their eyes, And their own pride resists the light. "Father, 'tis thus, because thy will Chose and ordained it should be so; 'Tis thy delight t' abase the proud, And lay the haughty scorner low. "There's none can know the Father right But those who learn it from the Son; Nor can the Son be well received But where the Father makes him known." Then let our souls adore our God, Who deals his graces as he please; Nor gives to mortals an account Or of his actions or decrees. Scripture: Luke 10:21-22 Languages: English

Hymn 13

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.13 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: The lands that long in darkness lay Lyrics: The lands that long in darkness lay Now have beheld a heav'nly light; Nations that sat in death's cold shade Are blessed with beams divinely bright. The virgin's promised Son is born, Behold th' expected child appear: What shall his names or titles be? "The Wonderful, the Counsellor." [This infant is the mighty God, Come to be suckled and adored; Th' eternal Father, Prince of Peace, The Son of David, and his Lord.] The government of earth and seas Upon his shoulders shall be laid; His wide dominions still increase, And honors to his name be paid. Jesus, the holy child, shall sit High on his father David's throne; Shall crush his foes beneath his feet, And reign to ages yet unknown. Scripture: Isaiah 9:2 Languages: English

Hymn 14

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.14 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Who shall the Lord's elect condemn? Lyrics: Who shall the Lord's elect condemn? 'Tis God that justifies their souls; And mercy, like a mighty stream, O'er all their sins divinely rolls. Who shall adjudge the saints to hell? 'Tis Christ that suffered in their stead; And, the salvation to fulfil, Behold him rising from the dead! He lives! he lives and sits above, For ever interceding there: Who shall divide us from his love? Or what should tempt us to despair? Shall persecution, or distress, Famine, or sword, or nakedness? He that hath loved us bears us through, And makes us more than conquerors too. Faith hath an overcoming power; It triumphs in the dying hour: Christ is our life, our joy, our hope, Nor can we sink with such a prop. Not all that men on earth can do, Nor powers on high, nor powers below, Shall cause his mercy to remove, Or wean our hearts from Christ our love. Scripture: Romans 8:33 Languages: English

Hymn 15

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.15 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Let me but hear my Savior say Lyrics: Let me but hear my Savior say, "Strength shall be equal to thy day," Then I rejoice in deep distress, Leaning on all-sufficient grace. I glory in infirmity, That Christ's own power may rest on me: When I am weak, then am I strong, Grace is my shield, and Christ my song. I can do all things, or can bear All suff'rings, if my Lord be there; Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains, While his left hand my head sustains. But if the Lord be once withdrawn, And we attempt the work alone, When new temptations spring and rise, We find how great our weakness is. [So Samson, when his hair was lost, Met the Philistines to his cost; Shook his vain limbs with sad surprise, Made feeble fight, and lost his eyes.] Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:7 Languages: English

Hymn 22 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.22.1 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Jesus, our Savior and our God Lyrics: Jesus, our Savior and our God, Arrayed in majesty and blood, Thou art our life; our souls in thee Possess a full felicity. All our immortal hopes are laid In thee, our surety and our head; Thy cross, thy cradle, and thy throne, Are big with glories yet unknown. Let atheists scoff, and Jews blaspheme Th' eternal life and Jesus' name; A word of thy almighty breath Dooms the rebellious world to death. But let my soul for ever lie Beneath the blessings of thine eye; 'Tis heav'n on earth, 'tis heav'n above, To see thy face and taste thy love. Scripture: Romans 9:5 Languages: English

Hymn 23 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.23.1 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Absent from flesh! O blissful thought! Lyrics: 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. Absent from flesh! illustrious day! Surprising scene! triumphant stroke That rends the prison of my clay; And I can feel my fetters broke. Absent from flesh! then rise, my soul, Where feet nor wings could never climb, Beyond the heav'ns, where planets roll, Measuring the cares and joys of time. I go where God and glory shine, His presence makes eternal day: My all that's mortal I resign, For angels wait and point my way. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:8 Languages: English
