Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
and did my Sovereign die!
Would he devote that sacred head
for sinners such as I?
Was it for crimes that I have done,
he groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
and shut its glories in,
when God, the mighty maker, died
for his own creature's sin.
Thus might I hide my blushing face
while his dear cross appears;
dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
and melt mine eyes to tears.
But drops of tears can ne'er repay
the debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'tis all that I can do.
– Isaac Watts, 1707

Unfortunately, the brief @EvangelicalsNow article below doesn’t adequately explain why it’s newsworthy for @sthelenschurch to restore Paul Williams to Christian leadership. Not many readers will go to the trouble of seeking out the 2021 and 2022 articles cited. 🧵
In keeping with their own culture of secrecy, the leaders of @sthelenschurch haven’t issued any statement explaining why, in their opinion, Paul Williams meets the Bible’s character requirements (e.g., “above reproach” — 1 Timothy 3:2) for Christian leadership.
Screenshots below from EN’s 2022 article.
In brief, after Williams’s exit, the leaders of his former church had this to say about the culture he’d presided over: “Our prayer is that with God’s help such a harmful culture will never develop again within our church.”

@danjohnsonhymns@pastorwebby@trentbroussard I guess ‘Marching to Zion’ (Come we that love the Lord - originally the 10 stanza hymn Watts penned called ‘Heavenly Joy on Earth’) is another example of classic Watts text with with a 19th century revivalist refrain and melody
