A poem by Isaac Watts

Hymn 2:137 [Behold The Blind Their Sight Receive]

________________________________________________
Title:     Hymn 2:137 [Behold The Blind Their Sight Receive]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

Miracles in the life, death,
and resurrection of Christ.


Behold the blind their sight receive;
Behold the dead awake and live;
The dumb speak wonders, and the lame
Leap like the hart, and bless his Name.

Thus doth th' eternal Spirit own
And seal the mission of the Son;
The Father vindicates his cause,
While he hangs bleeding on the cross.

He dies; the heavens in mourning stood;
He rises, and appears a God;
Behold the Lord ascending high,
No more to bleed, no more to die.

Hence and for ever from my heart
I bid my doubts and fears depart;
And to those hands my soul resign
Which bear credentials so divine.


[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Hymn 2:137 [Behold The Blind Their Sight Receive]
