Isaac Watts - Hymn 151
Work rating: Low

Prophecy and inspiration.

`Twas by an order from the Lord
The ancient prophets spoke his word;
His Spirit did their tongues inspire,
And warmed their hearts with heav`nly fire.

The works and wonders which they wrought
Confirmed the messages they brought;
The prophet`s pen succeeds his breath,
To save the holy words from death.

Great God, mine eyes with pleasure look
On the dear volume of thy book;
There my Redeemer`s face I see,
And read his name who died for me.

Let the false raptures of the mind
Be lost, and vanish in the wind;
Here I can fix my hope secure;
This is thy word, and must endure.
