Hymns

Lord, how divine thy comforts are!

by Isaac Watts·1707·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)

1

Lord, how divine thy comforts are!
How heav'nly is the place
Where Jesus spreads the sacred feast
Of his redeeming grace!

2

There the rich bounties of our God,
And sweetest glories shine;
There Jesus says that "I am his,
And my Beloved's mine."

3

"Here," says the kind, redeeming Lord,
And shows his wounded side;
"See here the spring of all your joys
That opened when I died."

4

He smiles, and cheers my mournful heart,
And tells of all his pain;
'All this," says he, "I bore for thee;"
And then he smiles again.

5

What shall we pay our heav'nly King
For grace so vast as this?
He brings our pardon to our eyes,
And seals it with a kiss.

6

Let such amazing loves as these
Be sounded all abroad;
Such favors are beyond degrees,
And worthy of a God.

7

To him that washed us in his blood
Be everlasting praise;
Salvation, honor, glory, power,
Eternal as his days.
