God of grace and God of glory
Great God, I own thy sentence just
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 2 Lyrics:
Great God, I own thy sentence just,
And nature must decay;
I yield my body to the dust,
To dwell with fellow clay.
Yet faith may triumph o'er the grave,
And trample on the tombs
My Jesus, my Redeemer, lives;
My God, my Savior, comes.
The mighty Conqueror shall appear
High on a royal seat,
And death, the last of all his foes,
Lie vanquished at his feet.
Though greedy worms devour my skin,
And gnaw my wasting flesh,
When God shall build my bones again,
He clothes them all afresh.
Then shall I see thy lovely face
With strong immortal eyes;
And feast upon thy unknown grace
With pleasure and suprise.
Great God, I own thy sentence just
Great God should we thy grace abuse
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 2 Lyrics: 1 Great God should we thy grace abuse,
Thy love and pow'r disown!
As did the disobedient Jews,
Who brought thy judgments down.
2 Thy bounteous hand on them bestowed
What e'er their wants suppli'd;
Yet they provoked thee their God,
Until they were distroy'd.
3 Thy mercies long with sinners bear,
Thy blessing them pursue;
But thy strict judgments every where,
Must punish vices too.
4 God spared not his chosen race,
Though long he prov'd their friend;
When long they had abus'd his grace,
They perish'd in the end.
5 Should we like they suppose we stand,
And therefore live secure;
Our house is built upon the sand,
And our destruction sure.
6 Then let us ever watch and pray,
Be always on our guard;
Lest like the Jew's we run astray,
And thus forsake the Lord. Topics: Ninth Sunday after Trinity
