Resolution 172
Lyrics: Isaac Watts
Tune: Anna Patton, 1995
Meter: C.M. (8,6,8,6)
God, on his thirsty Zion's hill,
Some mercy drops has thrown;
And solemn oaths have bound his love
To show'r salvations down.
Chorus:
Now shall my inward joys arise,
And burst into a song;
Almighty love inspires my heart,
And pleasure tunes my tongue.
In ev'ry joy that crowns my days,
In ev'ry pain I bear,
My heart shall find delight in praise,
Or seek relief in pray'r.
Why do we then indulge our fears,
Suspicions and complaints?
Is he a God, and shall his grace
Grow weary of his saints?
