Watts, Isaac, 1674-1748

"Hymns and Spiritual Songs"



Hymn 3:40.
The 3d, as the 148th Psalm.
To God the Father's throne
Perpetual honours raise;
Glory to God the Son,
To God the Spirit praise:
And while our lips
Their tribute bring,
Our faith adores
The name we sing.

Hymn 3:41.
Or thus:
To our eternal God,
The Father and the Son,
And Spirit all divine,
Three mysteries in one,
Salvation, power,
And praise be given
By all on earth
And all in heaven.

Hymn 3:42. L. M.
The Hosanna;
or, Salvation ascribed to Christ.
1 Hosanna to King David's Son,
Who reigns on a superior throne;
We bless the Prince of heavenly birth
Who brings salvation down to earth.
2 Let every nation, every age,
In this delightful work engage;
Old men and babes in Sion sing
The growing glories of her King.

Hymn 3:43. C. M.
1 Hosanna to the Prince of Grace,
Sion, behold her King;
Proclaim the Son of David's race,
And teach the babes to sing.
2 Hosanna to th' incarnate Word,
Who from the Father came;
Ascribe salvation to the Lord,
With blessings on his Name.

Hymn 3:44. S. M.
Hosanna to the Son
Of David and of God,
Who brought the news of pardon down,
And bought it with his blood,
2 To Christ th' anointed King
Be endless blessings given,
Let the whole earth his glory sing
Who made our peace with heaven.
