When God Revealed His Gracious Name by Isaac Watts, 1719 BROWN—William Batchelder Bradbury When God Revealed His Gracious Name 1 When God revealed His gracious name, And changed my mournful state; My rapture seemed a pleasing dream, The grace appeared so great. 2 The world beheld the glorious change, And did Thy hand confess; My tongue broke out in unknown strains, And sung surprising grace.
