Begin, My Tongue, Some Heavenly Theme Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

MANOAH (C.M.) Henry W. Greatorex (1813-1858)

Be-gin, my tongue, some heav'n-ly theme
   And speak some bound-less thing:
The might-y works or might-ier name
   Of our e-ter-nal King.

Tell of His won-drous faith-ful-ness
   And sound His pow'r a-broad;
Sing the sweet prom-ise of His grace,
   The love and truth of God.

His ver-y word of grace is strong
   As that which built the skies;
The voice that rolls the stars a-long
   Speaks all the prom-is-es.

O might I hear the heav'n-ly tongue
   But whis-per, "Thou art mine!"
Those gen-tle words shall raise my song
   To notes al-most di-vine.
