There is a God that reigns above

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Divine and Moral Songs #HX (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: There is a God that reigns above, Lord of the heavens, and earth, and seas: I fear his wrath, I ask his love, And with my lips I sing his praise. There is a law which he has writ, To teach us all what we must do: My soul, to his commands submit, For they are holy, just, and true. 46 There is a Gospel of rich grace, Whence sinners all their comforts draw: Lord, I repent, and seek thy face, For I have often broke thy law. There is an hour when I must die, Nor do I know how soon ‘twill come: A thousand children, young as I, Are call’d by death to hear their doom. Let me improve the hours I have, Before the day of grace is fled: There’s no repentance in the grave, No pardon offer’d to the dead. Just as a tree cut down, that fell To north or southward, there it lies, So man departs to heaven or hell, Fix’d in the state wherein he dies. Languages: English

Hymnal: Divine Songs for Children #X (1827) First Line: There is a God, who reigns above Lyrics: There is a God, who reigns above, Lord of the heavens, and earth, and seas, I fear his wrath, I ask his love, And with my lips I sing his praise. There is a law which he has writ, To teach us all what we must do; My soul, to his commands submit, For they are holy, just, and true. There is a Gospel of rich grace, Whence sinners all their comforts draw; Lord, I repent, and seek thy face, For I have often broke thy law. There is an hour when I must die, Nor do I know how soon 'twill come; A thousand children, young as i, Are called by death to hear their doom. Let me improve the hours I have, Before the day of grace is fled; There’s no repentance in the grave, No pardon offered to the dead. Just as a tree, cut down, which fell Northward or southward, there it lies; So man departs to heaven or hell, Fixed in the state wherein he dies. Languages: English
