With the same blessings grace endows The Gentile and the Jew; If pure and holy be the root, Such are the branches too.

Ere the blue heavens were stretch'd abroad

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Blessings of a person; End of the righteous and wicked; Happy saint and cursed sinner; Judgment day; Love of God to the righteous, and hatred to the wicked; Meditation; Punishment of sinners; Saints and sinner's end; Saints and Sinners' portion; Saints happy, and sinners cursed; Sinner and saint's portion; Sinner cursed, and saint happy 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: Colossians 1:16

Who but the Son shall take that book, And open every sea]? He shall fulfil thy great decrees, The Son deserves it well: Lo! in his hand the sovereign keys Of heav'n, and death, and hell!] Now to the Lamb that once was slain Be endless blessings paid; Salvation, glory, joy, remain For ever on thy head. Thou hast redeemed our souls with blood, Hast set the pris'ners free; Hast made us kings and priests to God, And we shall reign with thee. The worlds of nature and of grace Are put beneath thy power; Then shorten these delaying days, And bring the promised hour. Scripture: Revelation 5:6-12

"With looks and hearts serene, Go visit Christ your King; And straight a flaming troop was seen: The shepherds heard them sing: "Glory to God on high! And heav'nly peace on earth; Goodwill to men, to angels joy, At the Redeemer's birth!

And heav'nly peace on earth; Goodwill to men, to angels joy, At our Redeemer's birth!"] Scripture: Luke 2:10-19
