Now for a Tune of lofty Praise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XLIII (1766) Lyrics: 1 Now for a Tune of lofty Praise To great Jehovah's equal Son! Awake, my Voice, in heav'nly Lays Tell the loud Wonders he hath done. 2 Sing how he left the Worlds of Light, And the bright Robes he wore above; How swift and joyful was his Flight On Wings of everlasting Love. [3 Down to this base, this sinful Earth, He came to raise our Nature high; He came t' atone Almighty Wrath; Jesus the God was born to die.] [4 Hell and its Lions roar'd around, His precious Blood the Monsters spilt; While weighty Sorrows prest him down, Large as the Loads of all our Guilt.] 5 Deep in the Shades of gloomy Death, Th' Almighty Captive Pris'ner lay: Th' Almighty Captive left the Earth, And rose to everlasting Day. 6 Lift up your Eyes, ye Sons of Light, Up to his Throne of shining Grace, See what immortal Glories sit Round the sweet Beauties of his Face. 7 Amongst a Thousand Harps and Songs Jesus the God exalted reigns, His sacred Name fills all their Tongues, And echoes through the heav'nly Plains.
