Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 68:1-6

Verse 1

Why should the children of a King Go mourning all their days? Great Comforter, descend, and bring Some tokens of thy grace.

Verse 2

Dost thou not dwell in all the saints, And seal the heirs of heaven? When wilt thou banish my complaints, And show my sins forgiven?

Verse 3

Assure my conscience of her part In the Redeemer's blood; And bear thy witness with my heart, That I am born of God.

Thou art the earnest of his love, The pledge of joys to come; And thy soft wings, celestial Dove, Will safe convey me home.
