Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: Fears in the worship of God Lyrics: Hear what the Lord in vision said, And made his mercy known: "Sinners, behold your help is laid On my Almighty Son. "Behold the Man my wisdom chose Among your mortal race: His head my holy oil o'erflows, The Spirit of my grace. "High shall he reign on David's throne, My people's better King; My arm shall beat his rivals down, And still new subjects bring. "My truth shall guard him in his way, With mercy by his side, While in my name through earth and sea He shall in triumph ride. "Me for his Father and his God He shall for ever own, Call me his rock, his high abode, And I'll support my Son. "My first-born Son arrayed in grace At my right hand shall sit; Beneath him angels know their place, And monarchs at his feet. "My cov'nant stands for ever fast, My promises are strong; Firm as the heav'ns his throne shall last, His seed endure as long." Scripture: Psalm 89:19-52

Short from the cradle to the grave Who can secure his vital breath Against the bold demands of death, With skill to fly, or power to save? Lord, shall it be for ever said, "The race of man was only made For sickness, sorrow, and the dust?" Are not thy servants day by day Sent to their graves, and turned to clay? Lord, where's thy kindness to the just? Hast thou not promised to thy Son And all his seed a heav'nly crown? But flesh and sense indulge despair: For ever blessed be the Lord, That faith can read his holy word, And find a resurrection there. For ever blessed be the Lord, Who gives his saints a long reward For all their toil, reproach, and pain: Let all below and all above Join to proclaim thy wondrous love, And each repeat their loud Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89:47-52

And all thy Judgments just; For ever sure thy Promise, Lord, And Men securely trust. 4 My gracious GOD, how plain Are thy Directions giv'n! O may I never read in vain, But find the Path to Heav'n. Pause. 5 I hear thy Word with Love, And I would fain obey; Send thy good Spirit from above To guide me, lest I stray. 6 O who can ever find The Errors of his Ways? Yet with a bold, presumptuous Mind I would not dare transgress. 7 Warn me of ev'ry Sin, Forgive my secret Faults, And cleanse this guilty Soul of mine, Whose Crimes exceed my Thoughts. 8 While with my Heart and Tongue I spread thy Praise abroad; Accept the Worship and the Song, My Saviour and my GOD.
