Let All The Heathen Writers Join

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10940 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 forgiv’n, Nor lead a step beyond the grave; But Thine conduct to Heav’n. 3 I’ve seen an end to what we call Perfection here below; How short the powers of nature fall, And can no further go! 4 Yet men would fain be just with God By works their hands have wrought; But Thy commands, exceeding broad, Extend to every thought. 5 In vain we boast perfection here, While sin defiles our frame, And sinks our virtues down so far, They scarce deserve the name. 6 Our faith and love, and every grace Fall far below Thy Word; But perfect truth and righteousness Dwell only with the Lord.
