See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Additional quotes by Isaac Watts

My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of Thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.

Strange that a harp of thousand strings
Should keep in tune so long!

...but every lyar
Must have his portion in the lake
That burns with brimstone and with fire.
