Hymn 151
Prophecy and inspiration.
'Twas by an order from the LordThe ancient prophets spoke his word;His Spirit did their tongues inspire,And warmed their hearts with heav'nly fire.
The works and wonders which they wroughtConfirmed the messages they brought;The prophet's pen succeeds his breath,To save the holy words from death.
Great God, mine eyes with pleasure lookOn the dear volume of thy book;There my Redeemer's face I see,And read his name who died for me.
Let the false raptures of the mindBe lost, and vanish in the wind;Here I can fix my hope secure;This is thy word, and must endure.
