- 1Now to the Lord a noble song:
- Awake, my soul, awake, my tongue;
- Hosanna to the eternal name,
- And all his boundless love proclaim.
- 2See 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.
- 3The spacious earth and spreading flood
- Proclaim the wise and powerful God:
- And thy rich glories from afar
- Sparkle in every rolling star.
- 4Grace! ‘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.
- 5Oh! may I reach that happy place,
- Where he unveils his lovely face,
- Where all his beauties you behold,
- And sing his name to harps of gold.
