How beauteous are their feet

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #123 (1835) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal! How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Savior King; He reigns and triumphs here." How happy are our ears That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! How blessed are our eyes That see this heav'nly light Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight. The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. The Lord makes bare his arm Through all the earth abroad; Let every nation now behold Their Savior and their God!

Jesus, we bless thy Father's name

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #125 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Jesus, we bless thy Father's name; Thy God and ours are both the same; What heav'nly blessings from his throne Flow down to sinners through his Son! "Christ be my first elect," he said, Then chose our souls in Christ our head, Before he gave the mountains birth, Or laid foundations for the earth. Thus did eternal love begin To raise us up from death and sin; Our characters were then decreed, "Blameless in love, a holy seed." Predestinated to be sons, Born by degrees, but chose at once, A new regenerated race, To praise the glory of his grace. With Christ our Lord we share our part In the affections of his heart; Nor shall our souls be thence removed, Till he forgets his first-beloved.

Behold the potter and the clay

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #126 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Behold the potter and the clay, He forms his vessels as he please: Such is our God, and such are we, The subjects of his high decrees. [Doth not the workman's power extend O'er all the mass, which part to choose And mold it for a nobler end, And which to leave for viler use?] May not the sovereign Lord on high Dispense his favors as he will, Choose some to life, while others die, And yet be just and gracious still? [What if, to make his terror known, He lets his patience long endure, Suff'ring vile rebels to go on, And seal their own destruction sure? What if he means to show his grace, And his electing love employs To mark out some of mortal race, And form them fit for heav'nly joys?] Shall man reply against the Lord, And call his Maker's ways unjust, The thunder of whose dreadful word Can crush a thousand worlds to dust? But, O my soul! if truths so bright Should dazzle and confound thy sight, Yet still his written will obey, And wait the great decisive day. Then shall he make his justice known, And the whole world before his throne With joy or terror shall confess The glory of his righteousness. Scripture: Romans 9:20-23 Languages: English

But few among the carnal wise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #127 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: But few among the carnal wise, But few of noble race, Obtain the favor of thine eyes, Almighty King of Grace. He takes the men of meanest name For sons and heirs of God; And thus he pours abundant shame On honorable blood. He calls the fool, and makes him know The myst'ries of his grace, To bring aspiring wisdom low, And all its pride abase. Nature has all its glories lost When brought before his throne; No flesh shall in his presence boast, But in the Lord alone. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Languages: English

There was an hour when Christ rejoic'd

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #128 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: There was an hour when Christ rejoiced, And spoke his joy in words of praise: "Father, I thank thee, mighty God, Lord of the earth, and heav'ns, and seas. "I thank thy sovereign power and love That crowns my doctrine with success, And makes the babes in knowledge learn The heights, and breadths, and lengths of grace. "But all this glory lies concealed From men of prudence and of wit; The prince of darkness blinds their eyes, And their own pride resists the light. "Father, 'tis thus, because thy will Chose and ordained it should be so; 'Tis thy delight t' abase the proud, And lay the haughty scorner low. "There's none can know the Father right But those who learn it from the Son; Nor can the Son be well received But where the Father makes him known." Then let our souls adore our God, Who deals his graces as he please; Nor gives to mortals an account Or of his actions or decrees.

Jesus, the man of constant grief

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHDW1835 #129 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Jesus, the man of constant grief, A mourner all his days; His spirit once rejoiced aloud, And turn'd his joy to praise: "Father, I thank thy wondrous love, That hath revealed thy Son To men unlearned, and to babes Has made thy gospel known. "The mysteries of redeeming grace Are hidden from the wise, While pride and carnal reasonings join To swell and blind their eyes." Thus doth the Lord of heav'n and earth His great decrees fulfil, And orders all his works of grace By his own sovereign will.
