Watts, I. (Isaac)
Hymns and Spiritual Songs
Produced by Lewis Jones
"Hymns and Spiritual Songs" by Isaac Watts is a collection of Christian hymns and spiritual poetry crafted in the early 18th century. This work is divided into three main sections: hymns collected from the scriptures, those composed on divine themes, and hymns prepared for the Lord's Supper. The overall focus of the collection is on worship, devotion, and reflection on key Christian themes such as salvation, divine grace, and the nature of God, with an aim to enrich both personal and communal worship. The opening of this collection presents a preface by the author that outlines his intent and structure. Watts expresses the significance of blending scripture with contemporary expression of faith and acknowledges the limitations of the Book of Psalms in addressing modern congregational needs. The hymns he provides aim to reflect the various moods of Christian worshipers by capturing feelings of joy, sorrow, hope, and reverence. The first few hymns included delve into themes such as worshiping the Lamb, the deity of Christ, and the nativity, all set to a poetic form that seeks to both uplift the spirit and guide believers in their devotion.
