Hymn 529 – HAPPY the heart where graces reign | C&S English Hymnary

1. HAPPY the heart where graces reign Where love inspires the breast Love is the brightest of the train And perfect all the rest. 2. Cherubim in heaven above And Sacred Scraphim Around the Holy throne surround Offering praises to God. 3. Knowledge alas! tis all in vain And all in vain our fear Our stubborn sins will fight and reign If love be absent there. 4. Tis love that makes our cheerful feet In swift obedience move The devil knew, and tremble too But Satan cannot love. 5. This is the grace that lives and sings When faith and hope shall cease Tis this shall strike our joyful strings In the sweet realm of bliss. 6. Before we quite forsake our clay Or leave this dark abode The wings of love bear us away To see our gracious God. 7. Jehovah Nissi our Father Claim us Thine all to be Holy Spirit the sacred dove Lead us, pathway of life. 8. Jehovah Ruphy our Father Strengthen our feeble frames May we in accord the Lord praise As though the Saints above AMEN
