Heaven Invisible and Holy

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 46

Verse 1

Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard, Nor sense nor reason known, What joys the Father has prepar'd For those that love the Son.

Verse 2

But the good Spirit of the Lord Reveals a heav'n to come; The beams of glory in his word Allure and guide us home.

Verse 3

Pure are the joys above the sky, And all the region peace; No wanton lips, nor envious eye, Can see or taste the bliss.

Verse 4

Those holy gates forever bar Pollution, sin, and shame; None shall obtain admittance there, But foll'wers of the Lamb.

Verse 5

He keeps the Father's book of life; There all their names are found; The hypocrite in vain shall strive To tread the heav'nly ground.
