Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 280 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
by faith and love in every breast;
then shall we know and taste and feel
the joys that cannot be expressed.
2 Come, fill our hearts with inward strength,
make our enlargèd souls possess
and learn the height and breadth and length
of thine immeasurable grace.
3 Now to the God whose power can do
more than our thoughts or wishes know,
be everlasting honours done
by all the church, through Christ his Son. Topics: Holy Communion Scripture: 1 Peter 1:8 Used With Tune: CROSS DEEP
Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell
Our God, How Wondrous Are His Ways!
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Our God, how wondrous are his ways!
How firm his truth, how large his grace!
He takes his mercy for his throne,
and thence he makes his glories known.
2 Not half so high his power hath spread
the starry heav'ns above our head,
as his rich love exceeds our praise,
exceeds the highest hopes we raise.
3 Not half so far hath nature placed
the rising morning from the west,
as his forgiving grace removes
the daily guilt of those he loves.
4 The mighty God, the Wise and Just,
knows tht our frame is feeble dust,
and will no heavy loads impose
beyond the strength that he bestows.
5 He knows how soon our nature dies,
withered by ev'ry wind that flies;
like grass we spring, and die as soon,
or morning flowers that fade at noon.
6 But his eternal love is sure
to all the saints, and shall endure;
from age to age his truth shall reign,
nor children's children hope in vain.
