Glory and Grace in the Person of Christ. 2 Cor. 4. 6
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 and spreading flood
 
Proclaim the wise, the powerful God;
 
And thy rich glories from afar
 
Sparkle in every rolling star.
4
But in his looks a glory stands,
 
The noblest labour of thy hands;
 
The pleasing lustre of his eyes
 
Outshines the wonders of the skies.
5
[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!]
6
O may I live to reach the place
 
Where he unveils his lovely face,
 
Where all his beauties you behold,
