Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell

Psalm 63 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.133 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Converse with God First Line: 'Twas in the watches of the night Lyrics: 'Twas in the watches of the night I thought upon thy power, I kept thy lovely face in sight Amidst the darkest hour. My flesh lay resting on my bed, My soul arose on high: "My God, my life, my hope," I said, "Bring thy salvation nigh." My spirit labors up thine hill, And climbs the heav'nly road; But thy right hand upholds me still, While I pursue my God. Thy mercy stretches o'er my head The shadow of thy wings; My heart rejoices in thine aid, My tongue awakes and sings. But the destroyers of my peace Shall fret and rage in vain; The tempter shall for ever cease, And all my sins be slain. Thy sword shall give my foes to death, And send them down to dwell In the dark caverns of the earth, Or to the deeps of hell. Scripture: Psalm 63:6-10 Languages: English

Psalm 63

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.135 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Converse with God First Line: My God, permit my tongue Lyrics: My God, permit my tongue This joy, to call thee mine; And let my early cries prevail To taste thy love divine. My thirsty, fainting soul Thy mercy doth implore; Not travellers in desert lands Can pant for water more. Within thy churches, Lord, I long to find my place; Thy power and glory to behold, And feel thy quick'ning grace. For life without thy love No relish can afford; No joy can be compared to this, To serve and please the Lord. To thee I'll lift my hands, And praise thee while I live; Not the rich dainties of a feast Such food or pleasure give. In wakeful hours at night I call my God to mind; I think how wise thy counsels are, And all thy dealings kind. Since thou hast been my help, To thee my spirit flies, And on thy watchful providence My cheerful hope relies. The shadow of thy wings My soul in safety keeps; I follow where my Father leads, And he supports my steps. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English

Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #319 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Converse with God Lyrics: Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews, And nobler speech, that angels use, If love be absent, I am found, Like tinkling brass, an empty sound. Were I inspired to preach and tell All that is done in heav'n and hell; Or could my faith the world remove, Still I am nothing without love. Should I distribute all my store To feed the bowels of the poor, Or give my body to the flame, To gain a martyr's glorious name; If love to God and love to men Be absent, all my hopes are vain; Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal, The work of love can e'er fulfil. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 Languages: English
