- 1Begin, my tongue, some heav’nly theme,And speak some boundless thing,The mighty works, or mightier nameOf our eternal King.Tell of His wondrous faithfulness,And sound, His pow’r a broad;Sing, the sweet promise of His grace,The love and truth of God.
- 2His very word of grace is strongAs that which built the skies;The voice that rolls the stars a longSpeaks all the promises.O might I hear Thy heav’nly tongueBut whisper,” Thou art Mine!”Those gentle words should raise my songTo notes almost divine.Amen.
