Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #282 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship First Line: Happy the heart, where graces reign 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! 'tis all in vain,
And all in vain our fear;
Our stubborn sins will fight and reign,
If love be absent there.
3 'Tis love, that makes our cheerful feet
In swift obedience move.
The devils know, and tremble too;
But devils do not love.
4 This is the grace, that lives and sings,
When faith and hope shall cease.
'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings
In the sweet realms of bliss. Topics: The Christain His Duty and Graces; Christian Graces Languages: English
