Begin My Tongue Some Heavnly Theme
MANOAH-Henry W. Greatorex, Collection
Begin, My Tongue, Some Heav'nly Theme
}
Begin, my tongue, some heav'nly theme,
And speak some boundless thing,
The mighty works, or mightier Name,
Of our eternal King.
Tell of His wondrous faithfulness,
And sound His power abroad;
Sing the sweet promise of His grace,
And the performing God.
His very 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 should raise my song
To notes almost divine.
