Hymn 1:53 [God Who In Various Methods Told]

Title:     Hymn 1:53 [God Who In Various Methods Told]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

The Holy Scriptures, Heb. 1. 1 2. 2 Tim. 3. 15 16.
Psalm 147. 19 20.

God who in various methods told
His mind and will to saints of old,
Sent down his Son, with truth and grace,
To teach us in these latter days.

Our nation reads the written word,
That book of life, that sure record:
The bright inheritance of heaven
Is by the sweet conveyance given.

God's kindest thoughts are here express'd,
Able to make us wise and bless'd;
The doctrines are divinely true,
Fit for reproof, and comfort too.

Ye British isles, who read his love
In long epistles from above,
(He hath not sent his sacred word
To every land) Praise ye the Lord.

[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Hymn 1:53 [God Who In Various Methods Told]
