CXXXIV. Glory and Grace in the person of Christ

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 Yes, in his looks a glory stands,
The noblest labour of thine hands;
The pleasing lustre of his eyes
Outshines the wonders of the skies.

4 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!

5 O, may I live to see the place,
Where he unveils his lovely face!
Where all his beauties you behold,
And sing his name to harps of gold.
