Jesus, Thy Blessings Are Not Few

Isaac Watts· Post-Reformation

Highlight

Verse 1

Jesus, thy blessings are not few,
Nor is thy gospel weak;
Thy grace can melt the stubborn Jew,
And bow th’ aspiring Greek.

Verse 2

Wide as the reach of Satan’s rage
Doth thy salvation flow;
’Tis not confin’d to sex or age,
The lofty or the low.

Verse 3

While grace is offer’d to the prince,
The poor may take their share;
No mortal has a just pretence
To perish in despair.

Verse 4

Be wise, ye men of strength and wit,
Nor boast your native powers;
But to his sovereign grace submit,
And glory shall be yours.

Verse 5

Come, all ye vilest sinners come,
He’ll form your souls anew:
His gospel and his heart have room
For rebels such as you.

Verse 6

His doctrine is almighty love;
There’s virtue in his Name
To turn the raven to a dove,
The lion to a lamb.
