Isaac Watts - Psalm 40 Part 2
Work rating: Low

v.6-9 
C. M.
The incarnation and sacrifice of Christ.

Thus saith the Lord, "Your work is vain
Give your burnt-offerings o`er;
In dying goats, and bullocks slain,
My soul delights no more."

Then spake the Savior, "Lo, I`m here,
My God, to do thy will;
Whate`er thy sacred books declare,
Thy servant shall fulfil.

"Thy law is ever in my sight,
I keep it near my heart;
Mine ears are opened with delight
To what thy lips impart."

And see, the blest Redeemer comes,
Th` eternal Son appears,
And at th` appointed time assumes
The body God prepares.

Much he revealed his Father`s grace,
And much his truth he showed,
And preached the way of righteousness
Where great assemblies stood.

His Father`s honor touched his heart,
He pitied sinners` cries,
And, to fulfil a Savior`s part,
Was made a sacrifice.

PAUSE.

No blood of beasts on altars shed
Could wash the conscience clean;
But the rich sacrifice he paid
Atones for all our sin.

Then was the great salvation spread,
And Satan`s kingdom shook;
Thus by the woman`s promised seed
The serpent`s head was broke.
