Now to the Lord a noble song
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 330 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-5 Lyrics: 1 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, the oceans' flood,
proclaim the wise, the powerful God,
and your rich glories from afar
gleam bright in every rolling star.
4 But in his looks a glory stands,
the noblest labour of your hands:
the pleasing lustre of his eyes
outshines the wonders of the skies.
5 Grace: what a sweet, a charming theme!
My thoughts rejoice at Jesus' name:
all angels, dwell upon the sound,
and heav'ns, reflect it to the ground, Topics: Epiphany; Grace; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Joy; Providence Used With Tune: NEWCASTLE
Now to the Lord a noble song
At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel, 1817-1877 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 252 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:9 Lyrics: 1 At the Name of Jesus
Every knee shall bow,
Ev'ry tongue confess him
King of glory now;
'Tis the Father's pleasure
We should call him Lord,
Who from the beginning
Was the mighty Word.
2 Humbled for a season,
To receive a Name
From the lips of sinners,
Unto whom he came,
Faithfully he bore it
Spotless to the last,
Brought it back victorious,
When through death he passed.
3 Bore it up triumphant,
With its human light,
Through all ranks of creatures,
To the central height,
To the throne of Godhead,
To the Father's breast;
Filled it with the glory
Of that perfect rest.
4 In your hearts enthrone him;
There let him subdue
All that is not holy,
All that is not true:
Crown him as your Captain
In temptation's hour;
Let his will enfold you
In its light and power.
5 Jesus, Lord and Savior,
Shall return again,
With his Father's glory
O'er the earth to reign;
For all wreaths of empire
Meet upon his brow,
And our hearts confess him
King of glory now.

And lowly in thy temple bend;
See crowds on every side arise,
Eager to mount above the skies.

And pour on thee a flood of day!

For God himself shall be thy light.

Rocks fall, and mountains melt away!
Fixed in his word, his power remains:
Thy glorious King, Messiah, reigns!

Christ the babe is Lord of all.

vigil till the morning new;
saw the glory, heard the story,
tidings of a gospel true.

praises voicing, greet tomorrow:
Christ the babe was born for you,
Christ the babe was born for you! Topics: Christmas; Epiphany Used With Tune: POLISH CAROL (W ZLOBIE LEZY) Text Sources: Polish carol
