Isaac Watts (28)
Blessings abound wherever He reigns; the prisoner leaps to loose his chains.
God's Reign 0 Thy word is everlasting truth; How pure is every page! That holy book shall guide our youth, And well support our age.
Scripture, Youth 0 But lips that dare be so profane To mock, and jeer, and scoff At holy things, or holy men, The Lord shall cut them off.
Speech 0 We can never be too frequent or too solemn in the general surrender of our souls to God
Surrender 0 We long to see thy churches full, That all the chosen race May with one voice and heart and soul Sing thy redeeming grace.
Singing, Praise, Worship 0 Must I be carried to the skies On flow'ry beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas?
Ease, Suffering 0 Let us sing unto the Lord a new song. It is a holy duty to sing praises to God, with understanding and with the heart, for this is a part of the worship of the true God.
Music, Worship, Praise 0 There's not a plant or flower below, But makes Thy glories known, And clouds arise, and tempests blow, By order from Thy throne.
Creation, God's Glory 0 The heavens declare Thy glory, Lord, In every star Thy wisdom shines; But when our eyes behold Thy Word, We read Thy Name in fairer lines.
Creation, God's Glory 0 Thy best life now is to live upon the promise.
Faith 0 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day
Time, Death 0 Salvation is all of grace, and that grace is sovereign, discriminating, and distinguishing
Salvation 0 Thus, when the night of death shall come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound.
Death, Salvation 0 The volume of my Father's Grace does all my griefs assuage.
Grace, Grief 0 Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home.
Help 0 What bliss will fill the ransomed souls — when they in glory dwell, to see the sinner as he rolls — in quenchless flames of Hell!
Salvation, Damnation, Hell 0 The Word of God and the grace of Christ in the promises are our daily support, and the constant nourishment of our souls.
Scripture, Grace, Gospel 0 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth, Obey the anointed Lord, Adore the King of heavenly birth, And tremble at his Word. With humble love address his throne; For if he frown, ye die: Those are secure, and those alone, Who on his grace rely.
God's Sovereignty 0 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting thou art God, To endless years the same.
Creation, God 0 Why was I made to hear your voice, And enter while there's room, When thousands make a wretched choice, And rather starve than come?
Salvation 0 The hill of Zion yields a thousand sacred sweets before we reach the heav'nly fields, or walk the golden street
Faith, Blessings 0 Religion was never designed To make our pleasures less.
Joy 0 Do not entertain any hard thoughts of God, or of his ways because his people are persecuted for them. For Jesus Christ himself was persecuted to death.
Persecution 0 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride.
Gospel, Cross, Pride 0 He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found
Gospel, Blessings 0 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, and did my Sovereign die! Would he devote that sacred head for such a worm as I?
Gospel, Salvation, Cross 0 Darkness and doubts had veiled my mind, And drowned my head in tears, Till sovereign grace with shining rays Dispelled my gloomy fears.
Depression, Doubt, Fear 0
