When I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies,
I'll bid farewell to every fear,
And wipe my weeping eyes.
Should earth against my soul engage,
And hellish darts be hurled,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage,
And face a frowning world.
Let cares like a wild deluge come,
And storms of sorrow fall,
May I but safely reach my home,
My God, my heaven, my all.
There shall I bathe my weary soul
In seas of heavenly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast.
Isaac Watts
...."When I can read my title clear"...
...Watts' Hymns are still sung by millions all over the world...
...Isaac Watts composed some verses before he was six years old...
When they were discovered by his mother, she doubted that they were really written by him.
To satisfy her, he composed the following acronymn or acrostic upon his name:
"I
- am a vile polluted lump of earth,
"S
- o I've continu'd ever since my birth;
"A
- lthough Jehovah's grace does daily give me,
"A
- s sure this monster Satan will deceive me,
"C
- ome, therefore Lord, from Satan's claws relieve me.
"W
- ash me in thy blood, O Christ,
"A
- nd grace divine impart,
"T
- hen search and try the corners of my heart,
"T
- hat I in all things may be fit to do
"S
- ervice to thee, and sing thy praises too."
During this period of his life, (From four to fourteen years old) according to his own records he "..Began to learn Latin (at four) 1678,.."To Latin school and writing, 1680,
"...Began to learn Greek..1683, or before, "...I had ye small pox..1683, "...Learnt French..1684. 1685, "...Learnt Hebrew..1687 or 1688.."
Coincidental with these events he recorded in 1683: "..My father persecuted and imprisoned for nonconformity six months. After that forced to leave his family and live privately in London for two years."
