Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 243 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Happy the heart where graces reign,
Where love inspires the breast;
Love is the brightest of the train,
And strengthens all the rest.
2 Knowledge, alas! ’tis all in vain,
And all in vain our fear;
Our stubborn sins will fight and reign,
If love be absent there.
3 ’Tis love that makes our cheerful feet
In swift obedience move;
The devils know and tremble, too,
But Satan cannot love.
4 This is the grace that lives and sings
When faith and hope shall cease;
’Tis this shall strike our joyful strings
In the sweet realms of bliss.
5 Before we quite forsake our clay,
Or leave this dark abode,
The wings of love bear us away
To see our smiling God. Used With Tune: WILTSHIRE Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Songs, 1707-09, Book II
