- 1Begin, my tongue, some heav'nly theme,
- And speak some boundless thing,
- The mighty works, or mightier name,
- Of our eternal King.
- 2Tell of His wondrous faithfulness,
- And sound His power abroad;
- Sing the sweet promise of His grace,
- The love and truth of God.
- 3His very word of grace is strong
- As that which built the skies;
- The voice that rolls the stars along
- Speaks all the promises.
- 4O might I hear Thy heav'nly tongue
- But whisper "Thou art mine!"
- Those gentle words should raise my song
- To notes almost divine.
