Begin, My Soul, some Heav'nly Theme
"With my mouth will I make known Thy Faithfulness" - Ps 89:1
VERSE 1
Begin, my soul, some heav'nly theme;
Awake, my voice, and sing
The mighty works, or mightier name,
Of our eternal King.
VERSE 2
Tell of His wondrous faithfulness,
And sound His power abroad,
Sing the sweet promise of His grace,
And the performing God.
VERSE 3
Proclaim salvation from the Lord,
For wretched, dying men:
His hand hath writ the sacred word
With an immortal pen.
VERSE 4
Engraved as in eternal brass
The mighty promise shines;
Nor can the powers of darkness 'rase
Those everlasting lines.
VERSE 5
His every word of grace is strong,
As that which built the skies;
The voice that rolls the stars along
Speak all the promises.
VERSE 6
Now shall my fainting heart rejoice
To know Thy favour sure:
I trust the all-creating voice,
And faith desires no more.
