Christian Patriotic Songs "Give 'em Watts, boys, give 'em Watts!" In an attack upon Springfield when the patriots' wadding gave out, Rev. James Caldwell (of Huguenot descent) ran into the Presbyterian church returning with his arms and pockets crammed full with Watts' Psalms and Hymns saying, "Now, boys, give them Watts!" The British offered large rewards for the capture of Rev. Caldwell, but to no avail. Therefore, the British burned his church, shot his wife while she was in the midst of their nine children, dragged her body into the street, and burned his home and out buildings. Sing along with War of Independence patriots from the Watts' Psalms and Hymns below ... |
Behold the islands with their kings, There Persia, glorious to behold, To Him shall endless prayer be made, People and realms of every tongue Blessings abound wherever He reigns; Where He displays His healing power, Let every creature rise and bring Great God, whose universal sway The scepter well becomes His hands; With power He vindicates the just, As rain on meadows newly mown, The heathen lands, that lie beneath The saints shall flourish in His days, |
The Law discovers guilt and sin What curses doth the Law denounce My soul, no more attempt to draw |
Under the shadow of Thy throne Before the hills in order stood, Thy Word commands our flesh to dust, A thousand ages in Thy sight The busy tribes of flesh and blood, Time, like an ever rolling stream, Like flowery fields the nations stand Our God, our help in ages past, |
Say to the nations, Jesus reigns, Let heavn proclaim the joyful day; Let an unusual joy surprise Behold, He comesHe comes to bless But when His voice shall raise the dead, |
Today He rose and left the dead, Hosanna to thanointed King, Blest be the Lord, Who comes to men Hosanna in the highest strains |
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, See from His head, His hands, His feet, His dying crimson, like a robe, Were the whole realm of nature mine, |
I sing the goodness of the Lord, who filled the earth with food, Theres not a plant or flower below, but makes Thy glories known, |
Verse 2 Verse 3 Verse 4 Verse 5 Verse 6 |
When once it enters to the mind, Tis, like the sun, a heavnly light The men that keep Thy law with care, Thy precepts make me truly wise: The starry heavns Thy rule obey, But still Thy law and Gospel, Lord, Thy Word is everlasting truth; |
The rolling sun, the changing light, Sun, moon, and stars convey Thy praise Nor shall Thy spreading Gospel rest Great Sun of Righteousness, arise, Thy noblest wonders here we view |
