This Is The Word Of Truth And Love

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11873 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 This is the word of truth and love, Sent to the nations from above; Jehovah here resolves to show What His almighty grace can do. 2 This remedy did wisdom find To heal diseases of the mind; This sovereign balm, whose virtues can Restore the ruined creature, man. 3 The Gospel bids the dead revive, Sinners obey the voice, and live; Dry bones are raised and clothed afresh, And hearts of stone are turned to flesh. 4 Where Satan reigned in shades of night The Gospel strikes a heav’nly light; Our lusts its wondrous power controls, And calms the rage of angry souls. 5 Lions and beasts of savage name Put on the nature of the lamb, While the wild world esteem it strange, Gaze, and admire, and hate the change. 6 May but this grace my soul renew, Let sinners gaze and hate me too! The Word that saves me does engage A sure defense from all their rage. Languages: English Tune Title: BURTON
