Now 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,
Has all His mightiest works out-done.
The spacious earth and spreading flood
Proclaim the wise and powerful God;
And thy rich glories from afar
Sparkle in every rolling star.
But in His looks a glory stands,
The noblest labour of thine 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,
The angels dwell upon the sound;
The heavens reflect it to the ground.
O may I reach the happy place,
Where He unveils His lovely face,
His beauties there may I behold,
And sing His name to harps of gold.
---Alternative verses---
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.
O may I reach the happy place,
Where He unveils His lovely face,
Where all his beauties you behold,
And sing His name to harps of gold.
O may I live to reach the place,
Where He unveils His lovely face,
Where I his beauties shall behold,
And sing His name to harps of gold.
