The Poetic Wonder of Isaac Watts by Douglas Bond Pdf

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.

Assist Me to Proclaim by John R. Tyson Pdf

Charles Wesley (1707-1788) was the cofounder of Methodism and the author of more than 9,000 hymns and sacred poems, including such favorites as "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," "O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing," and "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today." John Tyson here traces the remarkable life of this influential man from cradle to grave, using rare -- including previously unpublished -- hymns, letters, and journal materials. As the younger brother of John Wesley, Charles was a vital partner in the Methodist revival. While often standing in the shadow of his more famous brother, Charles Wesley was arguably the founder of the Oxford Holy Club, and he actually experienced evangelical conversion three days prior to John. In Assist Me to Proclaim Tyson explores, among other things, behind-the-scenes questions about the brothers' sometimes-stormy relationship. Notwithstanding all his accomplishments as an evangelist and itinerant preacher, Charles is chiefly remembered for his startling facility at writing hymns that show God at work in almost every instance of life. His remarkable legacy endures around the world, as hundreds of Charles Wesley hymns are still sung in churches everywhere today. Assist Me to Proclaim draws a picture of a man whose fidelity to both the Church of England and the original vision of Methodism energized his remarkable abilities as a revivalist and hymn writer. Readers also get a glimpse into Wesley's heart and mind through the window of his hymn texts. This is a biography that any student of church history or hymnody will welcome.

The Poems of Isaac Watts Volume 1 by Isaac Watts Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1822 edition. Excerpt: ... TO DR. 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...
