The Psalms And Hymns Of Isaac Watts by Isaac Watts

HYMN 143 Flesh and spirit.

C. M.

Flesh and spirit.

What diff'rent powers of grace and sin

Attend our mortal state

I hate the thoughts that work within,

And do the works I hate.

Now I complain, and groan, and die,

While sin and Satan reign;

Now raise my songs of triumph high,

For grace prevails again.

So darkness struggles with the light

Till perfect day arise;

Water and fire maintain the fight,

Until the weaker dies.

Thus will the flesh and spirit strive,

And vex and break my peace;

But I shall quit this mortal life,

And sin for ever cease.
