"Jesus, the Man of constant grief" by Isaac Watts. Gadsby Hymn 71. Tune 'Fernlea'.

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. (Matthew 11:25, 26) Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 19:14) The Lord preserveth the simple... (Psalm 116:6) For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation. (Psalm 149:4) The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel...give subtilty to the simple...The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge...(Proverbs 1: 1,4,7) And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10) Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:3) Gadsby Hymn 71: Jesus, the Man of constant grief, A mourner all his days; His spirit once rejoiced aloud, And turned his joy to praise: “Father, I thank thy wondrous love, That has revealed thy Son To men unlearnèd; and to babes Has made the gospel known. “The mysteries of redeeming grace Are hidden from the wise; While pride and carnal reasonings join To swell and blind their eyes.” Thus does the Lord of heaven and earth His great decrees fulfil, And order all his works of grace By his own sovereign will.
