The presence of God worth dying for; or the Death of Moses

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DLV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Presence of God worth dying for First Line: Lord, 'tis an infinite delight Lyrics: 1 Lord, 'tis an infinite delight To see thy lovely face, To dwell whole ages in thy sight, And feel thy vital rays. 2 This Gabriel knows; and sings thy name With raptures on his tongue; Moses the saint enjoys the same, And heaven repeats the song. 3 While the bright nation sounds thy praise From each eternal hill, Sweet odours of exhaling grace The happy region fill. 4 Thy love, a sea without a shore, Spreads life and joy abroad; O 'tis a heaven worth dying for, To see a smiling God. 5 Sweet was the journey to the sky And wondrous prophet try'd; "Climb up the mount," says God, "and die," The prophet climb'd and died. 6 Softly his fainting head he lay Upon his maker's breast; His maker kiss'd his soul away, And laid his flesh to rest. 7 Shew me thy face, and I'll away From all inferior things; Speak, Lord, and here I quit my clay, And stretch my airy wings. Scripture: Deuteronomy 32:49-50 Languages: English
