LyicsNow to the Lord, a noble song,
Awake my soul, awake my tongue,
Hosanna to th' eternal name!
And all his boundless love proclaim.
See, where it shines in Jesus' face,
The brightest image of his grace;
God in the person of his Son,
Has all his mightiest works outdone.
The spacious earth and swelling flood,
Proclaim the wise and pow'rful God,
And thy rich glories from afar,
Sparkle in ev'ry rolling star.
But in his looks a glory stands,
The noblest labor of thy hands;
The pleasing lustre of his eyes,
Outshines the wonders of the skies.
Grace! 'tis a sweet, a charming theme,
My thoughts rejoice at Jesus' name;
Ye angels, dwell upon the sound;
Ye heav'ns, reflect it to the ground.
O! may I live to reach the place,
Where he unveils his lovely face;
Where all his beauties you behold,
And sing his name to harps of gold.
