Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XXXVIII (1766) Topics: Love to God pleasant and powerful 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 chearful 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.

O Sovereign meek and lowly, Thou Root of Jesse, David's Son, My Lord and Bridegroom, Thou hast won My heart to serve Thee solely. Holy art Thou, fair and glorious, All victorious, Rich in blessing, Rule and might o'er all possessing. 2 Thou heavenly Brightness! Light divine! O deep within my heart now shine, And make Thee there an altar; Fill me with joy and strength to be Thy member, ever joined to Thee In love that cannot falter. Toward Thee longing doth possess me: Come and bless me; For Thy gladness Eye and heart here pine in sadness. 3 But if Thou look on me in love, There straightway falls from God above A ray of purest pleasure; Thy Word and Spirit, flesh and blood, Refresh my soul with heavenly food, Thou art my hidden treasure; Let Thy grace, Lord, warm and cheer me, O draw near me! Thou hast taught us Thee to seek, since Thou hast sought us, 4 Here will I rest, and this hold fast: The Lord I love is first and last, The end and the beginning. Through Him to His own Paradise, Above all tears, all sinning; Amen! Amen! Come, Lord Jesus, Soon release us! With deep yearning, Lord, we look for Thy returning.

Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, almighty, to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive; Graciously return, and never, Nevercmore, Thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish, then, Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee, Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
