Isaac Watts3 quotes
Joy to the world! the lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing. — Isaac Watts · 1719When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride. — Isaac Watts · 1707Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day. — Isaac Watts · 1719Charles Wesley2 quotes

Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem. — Charles Wesley · 1739Amazing love! How can it be

It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From Angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold;

From Heaven's all gracious King,'

To hear the angels sing. — Edmund Sears · 1849George Bennard1 quote

Of unseen things above,

And rides upon the storm. — William Cowper · 1779
