LXI | Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.)#LXII | LXIII |
1 How fair thy glories here display'd,
Great God, how bright they shine;
While at thy word we break the bread,
And pour the flowing wine!
2 Here thy revenging justice stands,
And pleads its dreadful cause;
Here saving mercy spreads her hands,
Like Jesus on the cross.
3 Our cheerful hope that waiting sits,
To heaven directs her sight;
Here every warmer passion meets,
And warmer powers unite.
4 Zeal and revenge perform their part,
And rising sin destroy;
Repentance comes with aching heart,
Yet ne'er forbids the joy.
5 Dear saviour, change our faith to sight,
Let sin forever die;
Then shall our souls be all delight,
And every tear be dry.
