Title:     Hymn 2:143 [What Different Powers Of Grace And Sin]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

Flesh and spirit.

What different powers of grace and sin
Attend our mortal state!
I hate the thoughts that work within,
And do the works I hate.

Now I complain, and groan, and die,
While sin and Satan reign:
Now raise my songs of triumph high,
For grace prevails again.

So darkness struggles with the light
Till perfect day arise;
Water and fire maintain the fight
Until the weaker dies.

Thus will the flesh and spirit strive,
And vex and break my peace;
But I shall quit this mortal life,
And sin for ever cease.

[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Hymn 2:143 [What Different Powers Of Grace And Sin]
