Now shall my inward joys arise, And burst into a Song; Almighty - TopicsExpress



          

Now shall my inward joys arise, And burst into a Song; Almighty Love inspires my Heart, And Pleasure tunes my Tongue. God on his thirsty Sions Hill Some Mercy-Drops has thrown, And solemn Oaths have bound his Love To showr Salvation down. Why do we then indulge our Fears, Suspicions and Complaints? Is he a God, and shall his Grace Grow weary of his saints? Can a kind Woman eer forget The Infant of her Womb, Amongst a thousand tender Thoughts Her Suckling have no Room? Yet, saith the Lord, should Nature change, And Mothers Monsters prove, Sion still dwells upon the Heart Of everlasting Love. Deep on the Palms of both my Hands I have engravd her Name; My Hands shall raise her ruind Walls, And build her broken Frame. —Words: Isaac Watts. Music: “Africa” by William Billings.
