HYMN 47. (L. M.) Glory and Grace in the Person of Christ.
I
Now to the Lord a noble song!Awake, my soul, awake, my tongue;
Hosanna to th'eternal name,
And all his boundless love proclaim.
311
II
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.
III
The spacious earth and spreading floodProclaim the wise the powerful God;
And thy rich glories from afar
Sparkle in every rolling star.
IV
But in his looks a glory stands,The noblest labour of thine hands:
The pleasing lusture of his eyes
Outshines the wonders of the skies.
V
Grace, 'tis a sweet, a charming theme;My thoughts rejoice at Jesus' name:
Ye angels, dwell upon the sound,
Ye heavens reflect it to the ground!
VI
O, may I live to reach the placeWhere he unveils his lovely face,
Where all his beauties you behold,
And sing his name to harps of gold!
