113. Now to the Lord a noble song!

1. Now to the Lord a noble song!
Awake my soul, awake my tongue.
Hosanna 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 noblest works outdone.

3. The spacious earth and spreading flood
Proclaim the wise and pow'rful God;
And thy rich glories, from afar,
Sparkle in ev'ry rolling star.

4. But in thy Son a glory shines,
Drawn out in far superior lines;
The lustre of redeeming grace
Outshines the beams of nature's face.

5. Grace! ‘tis a 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 reach that happy place
Where he unveils his lovely face!
Where all his saints, from death restor'd,
Shall be forever with the Lord.
