-Begin, my tongue, some heavenly 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.
-He that can dash whole worlds to death,
-And make them when he please,
-He speaks, and that almighty breath
-Fulfils his great decrees.
-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 thine heavenly tongue
-But whisper, "Thou art mine!"
-Those gentle words should raise my song
-To notes almost divine.
-How would my leaping heart rejoice,
-And think my heaven secure!
-I trust the all-creating voice,
-And faith desires no more.
