Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: New English Praise #639b (2006) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names
Of wisdom, love, and power,
That ever mortals knew,
That angels ever bore:
All are too mean to speak his worth,
Too mean to set my Savior forth.
2 But O what gentle terms,
What condescending ways
Doth our Redeemer use
To teach his heavenly grace!
Mine eyes with joy ad wonder see
What forms of love he bears for me.
3 Great Prophet of my God,
My tongue would bless thy name;
By thee the joyful news
Of our salvation came:
The joyful news of sins forgiven,
Of hell subdued and peace with heaven.
4 Jesus, my great High-Priest,
Offered his blood and died;
My guilty conscience seeks
No sacrifice beside:
His powerful blood did once atone,
And now it pleads before the throne.
5 My dear almighty Lord,
My conqueror and my king,
Thy scepter and thy sword,
Thy reign of grace, I sing;
Thine is the power: behold I sit
In willing bonds before thy feet.
6 Now let my soul arise,
and tread the tempter down;
my Captain leads me forth
To conquest and a crown.
A feeble saint shall win the day,
Though death and hell obstruct the way.
7 Should all the hosts of death,
And powers of hell unknown,
Put their most dreadful forms
Of rage and mischief on,
I shall be safe, for Christ displays
Superior power, and guardian grace. Languages: English Tune Title: EASTVIEW
