Hymn 84

Jehovah speaks! let Isr'el hear;
Let all the earth rejoice and fear,
While God's eternal Son proclaims
His sovereign honors and his names.

A little spot enclosed by grace
Out of the world's wide wilderness.

Behold the Rose of Sharon here,
The Lily which the valleys bear;
Behold the Tree of Life, that gives
Refreshing fruit and healing leaves.

Our God deserves a song;

From Hezekiah's tongue.

His mind and will to saints of old,
Sent down his Son, with truth and grace,
To teach us in these latter days.

And crept to life at first,
We to the earth return again,
And mingle with our dust.

To serve my Savior here below,
In works which perfect saints above
And holy angels cannot do.

Fills a majestic throne;
While from the skies his awful voice
Bears the last judgment down.

A fitter heir of heav'n.

Whence all their white array?
How came they to the happy seats
Of everlasting day?"

Let Christ and joy be all our theme;
His Spirit seals his gospel sure,
To every soul that trusts in him.

The mighty frame of glorious grace,
That brightest monument of praise
That e'er the God of love designed,
Employs and fills my lab'ring mind.

A man of prudent heart,
Whose thoughts, and lips, and life agree
To act a useful part.

Their holy vows fulfil;
The saints, the followers of the Lamb,
Are men of honor still.

O happy soul that lives on high
While men lie grov'lling here
His hopes are fixed above the sky,
And faith forbids his fear.

Why should we start, and fear to die
What timorous worms we mortals are!
Death is the gate of endless joy,
And yet we dread to enter there.
Hymn 24
© Isaac Watts
In vain the wealthy mortals toil,
And heap their shining dust in vain,
Look down and scorn the humble poor,
And boast their lofty hills of gain.
Hymn 23 part 2
© Isaac Watts
Must all the charms of nature, then,
So hopeless to salvation prove?
Can hell demand, can heav'n condemn,
The man whom Jesus deigns to love?
Hymn 22 part 1
© Isaac Watts
Jesus, our Savior and our God,
Arrayed in majesty and blood,
Thou art our life; our souls in thee
Possess a full felicity.
Hymn 20
© Isaac Watts
Awake, my heart; arise, my tongue,
Prepare a tuneful voice;
In God, the life of all my joys,
Aloud will I rejoice.
