Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XCVIII (1766) Lyrics: 1 How heavy is the Night
That hangs upon our Eyes,
Till Christ, with his reviving Light,
Upon our Souls arise!
2 Our guilty Spirits dread
To meet the Wrath of Heav'n,
But in his Righteousness array'd
We see our Sins forgiven.
3 Unholy and impure
Are all our Thoughts and Ways,
His Hands infected Nature cure
With sanctifying Grace.
4 The Pow'rs of Hell agree
To hold our Souls in vain;
He sets the Sons of Bondage free,
And breaks the cursed Chain.
5 Lord, we adore thy Ways
To bring us near to God,
Thy Sov'reign Pow'r, thy healing Grace,
And thine atoning Blood. Topics: Christ Our Sanctification; Christ Our Wisdom and Righteousness; Redemption in Christ; Righteousness and Strength in Christ Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:30 Languages: English
