WATTS, ON HIS DIVINE POEMS. Say, human seraph, whence that charming force, That flame! that soul! which animates each line; And how it runs with such a graceful ease, Loaded with ponderous sense! Say, did not He, The lovely Jesus, who commands thy breast, Inspire thee with himself! With Jesus dwells, Knit in mysterious bands, the Paraclete, The breath of God, the everlasting source Of love; and what is love in souls like thine, But air, and incense to the poet's fire? Should an expiring saint, whose swimming eyes Mingle the images of things about him, But hear the least exalted of thy strains, How greedily he'd drink the music in, Thinking his heavenly convoy waited near! So great a stress of powerful harmony, Nature unable longer to sustain, Would sink oppress'd with joy to endless rest. Let none henceforth of Providence complain, As if the world of spirits lay unknown, Fenced round with black impenetrable night; What though no shining angel darts from thence, With leave to publish things conceal'd from sense, In language bright as theirs we are here told, When life its narrow round of years hath roll'd, What 'tis employs the bless'd, what makes their bliss; Songs such as Watts's are, and love like his. But then, dear sir, be cautious how you use, To transports so intensely raised your Muse, Lest, while the' ecstatic impulse you obey, The soul leap out, and drop the duller clay. HENRY GROVE'. Sept. 4, 1706. 1 A learned presbyterian divine, and master of an academy at Taunton in Somersetshire. He died in 1737. PREFACE. It has been a long complaint of the virtuous and refined world, that Poesy, whose original is divine, should be enslaved to vice and profaneness; that an art inspired from Heaven, should have so far lost the memory...

Book excerpt: This book was originally published in 1782. Part One of Seven. With the life of the author. A volume of the works of Isaac Watts who is universally acknowledged as The Father of English Hymnody. He has earned the title, not because he was first to write English hymns, but because he gave impetus to hymnody and established its place in the worship of the English church. He penned the Joy to the World, the most joyous of the carols, but Watts never intended it to be a Christmas carol. Rather, it was a part of his Psalms of David Imitated, published in 1719, which contained paraphrases of many of the Psalms in New Testament language. - Publisher.

Book excerpt: Isaac Watts is known to history as the father of English hymnody. He wrote some 750 hymns, including beloved classics like "Joy to the World" and "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." Today, however, Watts' work is increasingly forgotten as many churches follow the latest innovations in worship to the neglect of the great hymns of the faith. In The Poetic Wonder of Isaac Watts, Douglas Bond argues that the grandeur, beauty, and joy of Watts' lyrics, with their rich biblical and theological content, can help the church regain a sense of wonder at the majesty of God, leading to a reform of worship. This book demonstrates how Watts used his poetic gifts in multiple ways for the good of the church in his day. In an age of simplistic and repetitive worship songs, the church must not forget Isaac Watts. By taking his words as our own, Christians today can share in his wonder at Christ and the glories of the world to come, learning how to better praise God. This book is part of the Long Line of Godly Men Profile series, edited by Dr. Steven Lawson.
