Let all the heathen writers join

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 133 hymnals Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Lyrics: 1 Let all the heathen writers join To form one perfect book: Great God, if once compared with thine, How mean their writings look! 2 Not the most perfect rules they gave Could show one sin forgiven, Nor lead a step beyond the grave; But thine conducts to heaven. 3 Yet men would fain be just with God By works their hands have wrought; But thy commands, exceeding broad, Extend to every thought. 4 Our faith, and love, and every grace Fall far below thy word; But perfect truth and righteousness Dwell only with the Lord.

Hail to the millions from bondage returning! Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold. 3 Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing, Streams ever copious are gliding along; Loud from the mountain tops echoes are ringing, Wastes rise in verdure, and mingle in song. 4 See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean, Praise to Jehovah ascending on high; Fall'n are the engines of war and commotion, Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.
