Lord, how delightful 'tis to see

Isaac Watts (1715) • English

Primary Scripture: Ephesians 1:3

Verse 1

Lord, how delightful ‘tis to see A whole assembly worship thee! At once they sing, at once they pray; They hear of heaven, and learn the way.

Verse 2

I have been there, and still would go ’Tis like a little heaven below! Not all my pleasure and my play Should tempt me to forget this day.

Verse 3

O write upon my memory, Lord, The text and doctrines of thy Word, That I may break thy laws no more, But love thee better than before!

Verse 4

With thoughts of Christ and things divine Fill up this foolish heart of mine: That, hoping pardon through his blood, I may lie down, and wake with God.
