“The glory of the Lord shall be revealed.” Isa. 40. 5

1 O what matchless condescension
  The eternal God displays;
  Claiming our supreme attention,
  To his boundless works and ways.
  His own glory
  He reveals in gospel days.

2 In the person of the Saviour,
  All his majesty is seen!
  Love and justice shine for ever;
  And, without a veil between,
  Worms approach him,
  And rejoice in his dear name.

3 Would we view his brightest glory,
  Here it shines in Jesus’ face;
  Sing and tell the pleasing story,
  O ye sinners saved by grace;
  And with pleasure,
  Bid the guilty him embrace.

4 In his highest work, redemption,
  See his glory in a blaze;
  Nor can angels ever mention
  Aught that more of God displays;
  Grace and justice
  Here unite to endless days.

5 True, ’tis sweet and solemn pleasure,
  God to view in Christ the Lord;
  Here he smiles and smiles for ever;
  May my soul his name record;
  Praise and bless him,
  And his wonders spread abroad.
