Happy the heart where graces reign

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 243 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Happy the heart where graces reign, Where love inspires the breast: Love is the brightest of the train, And strengthens all the rest. 2 Knowledge alas!

Shakes the wide earth, and cleaves the tombs; Before him burns devouring fire, The mountains melt, the seas retire. 4 His enemies with wild dismay Fly from the sight, and shun the day; Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high, And sing, for your redemption's nigh.

How happy every child of grace

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 381 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of grace, Who knows his sins forgiven!

While here on earth we stay We more than taste the heavenly powers, And antedate that day. 4 We feel the resurrection near, Our life in Christ concealed, And with his glorious presence here Our earthen vessels filled. 5 On him with rapture I shall gaze, Who bought the bliss for me, And shout and wonder at his grace Through all eternity.
