Descend from heaven, immortal Dove

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #344 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Complaint pride, atheism, oppression, etc; Pride and atheism, and oppression punished; Falsehood and oppression, deliverance from them Lyrics: Descend from heav'n, immortal Dove, Stoop down and take us on thy wings, And mount and bear us far above The reach of these inferior things: Beyond, beyond this lower sky, Up where eternal ages roll; Where solid pleasures never die, And fruits immortal feast the soul. O for a sight, a pleasing sight Of our Almighty Father's throne! There sits our Savior crowned with light, Clothed in a body like our own. Adoring saints around him stand, And thrones and powers before him fall; The God shines gracious through the man, And sheds sweet glories on them all. O what amazing joys they feel While to their golden harps they sing, And sit on every heav'nly hill, And spread the triumphs of their King! When shall the day, dear Lord, appear, That I shall mount to dwell above, And stand and bow amongst them there, And view thy face, and sing, and love? Scripture: Psalm 12 Languages: English

Lyrics: Why doth the Lord stand off so far? And why conceal his face, When great calamities appear, And times of deep distress? Lord, shall the wicked still deride Thy justice and thy power? Shall they advance their heads in pride, And still thy saints devour? They put thy judgments from their sight, And then insult the poor; They boast in their exalted height, That they shall fall no more. Arise, O God, lift up thine hand, Attend our humble cry; No enemy shall dare to stand When God ascends on high. Why do the men of malice rage, And say, with foolish pride, "The God of heav'n will ne'er engage To fight on Zion's side?" But thou for ever art our Lord; And powerful is thine hand, As when the heathens felt thy sword, And perished from thy land. Thou wilt prepare our hearts to pray, And cause thine ear to hear; He hearkens what his children say, And puts the world in fear. Proud tyrants shall no more oppress, No more despise the just; And mighty sinners shall confess They are but earth and dust. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English

The sons of violence and lies Join to devour me, Lord; But as my hourly dangers rise, My refuge is thy word. In God most holy, just, and true, I have reposed my trust; Nor will I fear what flesh can do, The offspring of the dust. They wrest my words to mischief still, Charge me with unknown faults; Mischief doth all their counsels fill, And malice all their thoughts. Shall they escape without thy frown? Must their devices stand? O cast the haughty sinner down, And let him know thy hand. God counts the sorrows of his saints, Their groans affect his ears; Thou hast a book for my complaints, A bottle for my tears. When to thy throne I raise my cry, The wicked fear and flee; So swift is prayer to reach the sky, So near is God to me. In thee, most holy, just, and true, I have reposed my trust; Nor will I fear what man can do, The offspring of the dust. Thy solemn vows are on me, Lord, Thou shalt receive my praise; I'll sing, "How faithful is thy word, How righteous all thy ways!" Thou hast secured my soul from death, O set thy pris'ner free! That heart and hand, and life and breath, May be employ'd for thee. Scripture: Psalm 56 Languages: English
