Now to the Lord a noble song

Isaac Watts
(1674 - 1748)

L.M.

Glory and grace in the person of Grace

1.

Now to the Lord a noble song!
Awake, my soul; awake, my tongue;
Hosannah to th' 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 ev'ry rolling star.

4.

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.

5.

Grace! 'tis sweet, a charming theme;
My thoughts rejoice at Jesus' name:
Ye angels, dwell upon the sound!
Ye heav'ns reflect it to the ground!

6

O may I live to reach the place
Where He unveils His lovely face!
Where all His beauties you behold,
And sings His name to harps of gold!
