Descend from heaven, immortal Dove

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #344 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: 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

O Thou whose justice reigns on high

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.LVI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Deliverance from Oppression and Falsehood Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose justice reigns on high, And makes the oppressor cease, Behold how envious sinners try To vex and break my peace. 2 The sons of violence and lies Join to devour me, Lord; But as my hourly dangers rise, My refuge is thy word. 3 In God most holy, just, and true, I have repos'd my trust; Nor will I fear what flesh can do, The offspring of the dust. 4 They wrest my words to mischief still, Charge me with unknown faults; For mischiefs all their counsels fill, And malice all their thoughts. 5 Shall they 'scape without thy frown? Must their devices stand? Oh cast the haughty sinner down, And let him know thy hand! 6 God counts the sorrows of his saints, Their groans affect his ears; Thy mercy counts my just complaints, And numbers all my tears. 7 When to thy throne I raise my cry, The wicked fear and flee; So swift is pray'r to reach the sky, So near is God to me. 8 In thee, most holy, just and true, I have repos'd my trust; Nor will I fear what man can do, The offspring of the dust. 9 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! 10 Thou hast secur'd 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
