| 1 Now let our pains be all forgot, Our hearts no more repine; Our suff'rings are not worth a thought, When, Lord, compared with thine. 2 In lively figures here we see The bleeding Prince of Love; Each of us hopes he dy'd for me, And then our griefs remove. 3 [Our humble faith here takes her rise, While sitting round his board; And back to Calvary she flies, To view her groaning Lord. 4 His soul what agonies it felt When his own God withdrew! And the large load of all our guilt Lay heavy on him too! 5 But the divinity within Supported him to bear; Dying, he conquer'd hell and sin, And made his triumph there.] 6 Grace, wisdom, justice join'd and wrought The wonders of that day: No mortal tongue, nor mortal thought, Can equal thanks repay. 7 Our hymns should sound like those above, Could we our voices raise; Yet Lord, our hearts shall all be love, And all our lives be praise. | Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #III.16 (1806) The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns: collected from various authors, designed for the worship of God, and for the edification of Christians (1st Ed.) #CXCIX (1791) The Psalms of David: imitated in the language of the New Testament, and applied to the Christian state and worship (27th ed.) #III.XVI (1766) Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books: I. collected from the scriptures, II. composed on divine subjects, III. prepared for the Lord's Supper #III.XVI (1793) |
