Come, Let Us Lift Our Joyful Eyes

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 200 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, let us lift our joyful eyes Up to the courts above, And smile to see our Father there Upon a throne of love. 2. Once ’twas a seat of dreadful wrath, And shot devouring flame; Our God appeared consuming fire, And Vengeance was His name. 3. Rich were the drops of Jesus’ blood That calmed His frowning face, That sprinkled o’er the burning throne, And turned the wrath to grace. 4. Now we may bow before His feet, And venture near the Lord; No fiery cherub guards His seat, Nor double-flaming sword. 5. The peaceful gates of heav’nly bliss Are opened by the Son; High let us raise our notes of praise, And reach th’almighty throne. 6. To Thee ten thousand thanks we bring, Great Advocate on high; And glory to th’eternal King, That lays His fury by.

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 471 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I sing the almighty power of God, that made the mountains rise, that spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies. 2 I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; the moon shines full at his command, and all the stars obey. 3 I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the earth with food; he formed the creatures with his word, and then pronounced them good. 4 There's not a plant or flower below but makes your glories known; and clouds arise and tempests blow, by order from your throne. 5 All creatures, numerous as they be, are subject to your care; there's not a place where we can flee but God is present there. 6 God's hand is my perpetual guard, he guides me with his eye; why should I, then, forget the Lord, who is for ever nigh? and everywhere that we can be, you, God, are present there.
