Attend, while God's exalted Son
by Isaac Watts·1707·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)
1
Attend, while God's exalted Son
Doth his own glories show:
"Behold, I sit upon my throne,
Creating all things new.
2
"Nature and sin are passed away,
And the old Adam dies;
My hands a new foundation lay,
See the new world arise.
3
"I'll be a Sun of Righteousness
To the new heav'ns I make;
None but the new-born heirs of grace
My glories shall partake."
4
Mighty Redeemer! set me free
From my old state of sin;
O make my soul alive to thee,
Create new powers within.
5
Renew mine eyes, and form mine ears,
And mold my heart afresh;
Give me new passions, joys, and fears,
And turn the stone to flesh.
6
Far from the regions of the dead,
From sin, and earth, and hell,
In the new world that grace has made,
I would for ever dwell.
