jeremiah ingalls - night thought lyrics

Loading...

how can i sleep, when angels sing
and all the saints on high
cry glory to th’ eternal king
the lamb that once did die

when guardian angels fill the room
and hovering round my bed
do clap their wings, in love to him
who is my glorious head

o ! how can i inactive lie
and thoughtless all the night
when those celestial spirits praise
the lord with all their might

such joyful spirits never sleep
their love is ever new;
then, o my soul, no longer cease
to love and praise him too

for i, of all the race. that fell
or all the heavenly host
have greatest cause with humbler soul
to love and praise him most

did god the father love men so
as to give up his son
to be a ransom, and redeem
them from the sins they’d done
did jesus leave the father’s breast
that heaven of heavens on high
to come to earth, this world of woe
for guilty worms to die

and has the holy ghost applied
the blood of christ to me
to cleanse my guilty soul from sin
and let my spirit free?

with me o heaven and earth admire
who am of all the race
the chiefest sinner, and deserve
in h+ll, the hottest place

yet mercy here and truth doth meet
and god can justify
through jesus christ’s most precious blood
so vile a wretch as i

no longer then will i lie here
but rise and praise and pray;
and join to sing while i enjoy
a glimpse of heavenly day

i’ll view the glories of the lord
and serve him all my days
for what he in his essence is
my soul shall sing his praise
such glories bind my soul to him
while them, by faith, i see
for thanks, adore him, o my soul
and for his gifts to me

thanks to the father for his son;
to christ for righteousness
and the spirit, because that he
my soul in it did dress
