I. Watts (95/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

I. Watts THEE we adore, Eternal Word! The Father’s equal Son; By heaven’s obedient hosts adored, Ere time its course begun. 2 The first creation has displayed Thine energy divine; For not a single thing was made By other hands than Thine. 3 But ransomed sinners, with delight, Sublimer facts survey, The all-creating Word unites Himself to dust and clay. 4 Creation’s Author now assumes A creature’s humble form: A man of grief and woe becomes, And trod on like a worm. 5 The Lord of glory bears the shame To vile transgressors due; Justice the prince of life condemns To die in anguish too. 6 God over all, forever blest, The righteous curse endures; And thus, to souls with sin distrest, Eternal bliss insures. 7 What wonders in Thy person meet, My Saviour, all divine! I fall with rapture at Thy feet, And would be wholly Thine.
