NOW to the Lord a noble song! Awake, my soul! awake, my tongue! Hosanna to the eternal name, And all His boundless love proclaim. |
|||
2 | 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. |
||
3 | The spacious earth and spreading flood Proclaim the wise and powerful God; And Thy rich glories from afar Sparkle in every rolling star. |
||
4 | But in His looks a glory stands, The noblest labour of Thy hands; The radiant lustre of His eyes Outshines the wonders of the skies. |
||
5 | Grace! ’tis a sweet, a charming theme; My thoughts rejoice at Jesus’ name; Let angels dwell upon the sound, And heavens reflect it to the ground! |
||
6 | O, may I live to reach the place Where He unveils His glorious face; There all His beauties to behold, And sing His name to harps of gold! |

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
