Begin, My Tongue, Some Heavenly Theme

Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme

And speak some boundless thing;

The mighty works, or mightier Name

Of our eternal King.

Tell of His wonderful faithfulness

And sound His power abroad;

Sing the sweet promise of His grace,

And the redeeming God.

His every word of grace is strong

As that which built the skies;

The voice that rolls the stars along

Speaks all the promises.

O might I hear Thy heavenly tongue

But whisper, “Thou art Mine!”

Those gentle words shall raise my song

To notes almost divine.
