The Celebration Hymnal

Begin, My Tongue, Some Heavenly Theme

1 Begin, my tongue, some heav'nly theme  
And speak some boundless thing;  
The mighty works or mightier Name  
Of our eternal King.  

2 Tell of His wondrous faithfulness  
And sound His pow'r abroad;  
Sing the sweet promise of His grace,  
The love and truth of God.  

3 His very word of grace is strong  
As that which built the skies;  
The voice that rolls the stars along  
Speaks all the promises.  

4 O might I hear Thy heav'nly tongue  
But whisper, "Thou art mine!"  
Those gentle words shall raise my song  
To notes almost divine.
