(600) God Revealed in Christ.

Now to the Lord, a noble song!

Awake, my soul! awake, my tongue,

Hosanna 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 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.

4 Oh! may I live to reach the place,

Where he unveils his lovely face,

Where all his beauties you behold,

And sing his name to harps of gold.

Isaac Watts, 1707.
