LyicsNow to the Lord, a noble song,
Awake my soul, awake my tongue;
Hosanna to the 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,
He all his mightiest works hath done.
The spacious earth and spreading flood,
Proclaim the wise and powerful God:
And thy rich glories from afar,
Sparkle in ev'ry rolling star.
But in his looks a glory stands,
The noblest labor 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 heavens reflect it to the ground.
Oh 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.
