Awake, my tongue! thy tribute bring

1 Awake, my tongue! thy tribute bring
  To Him who gave thee power to sing;
  Praise him who is all praise above,
  The Source of wisdom and of love.

2 How vast his knowledge--how profound!
  A depth, where all our thoughts are drowned;
  The stars he numbers; and their names
  He gives to all those heavenly flames.

3 Through each bright world above, behold
  Ten thousand thousand charms unfold;
  Each, air, and mighty seas combine
  To speak his wisdom all-divine.

4 But in redemption--oh, what grace!
  Its wonders--oh, what thought can trace!
  Here wisdom shines for ever bright:
  Praise him, my soul, with sweet delight.
