Christ Dwells in Heaven But Visits On Earth

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 33

Verse 1

When strangers stand and hear me tell What beauties in my Saviour dwell, Where he is gone fain would know, That they may seek and love him too.

Verse 2

O may my spirit daily rise On wings of faith above the skies, Till I shall make my last remove, To dwell forever with my love.

Verse 3

In Paradise, within the gates, A higher entertainment waits, Fruits new and old laid up in store, There we shall hunger nevermore.
