220. Our Hearts Are Full of Christ, and Long
6-8s.
by C. Wesley
Our hearts are full of Christ, and long
Their glorious matter to declare!
Of Him we make our loftier song —
We cannot from His praise forbear:
Our ready tongues make haste to sing
The glories of the heavenly King.
“<<To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.>> My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.” (Psalm 45:1)
Fairer than all the earth-born race,
Perfect in comeliness Thou art;
Replenished are Thy lips with grace,
And full of love Thy tender heart.
God ever blest! we bow the knee,
And own all fullness dwells in Thee.
“Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.” (Psalm 45:2)
