lutheranhymnsWho is the lyricist?
Isaac Watts, who we will run into many more times. 16-1700s British guy.
So the rhymes are untranslated?
Yeah but they're 300 years old, so also there's that.
Cool turns of phrase?
I like "peculiar honors" for "individual/unique forms of praise;" not so big on "his name like sweet perfume shall rise." I guess a lot of scents gross me out and I'd rather not compare Jesus' name to them.
How about coffee? Some people are smelling coffee "with every morning sacrifice [presumably of prayer, not the murdery kind]."
Yeah, that smell I like.
