The triumph of his groans!] 7 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. 8 O may I bear some humble part In that immortal song! Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue. Scripture: Isaiah 44:23 Text Sources: Dr. Watts's Lyric Poems
