Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 299 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 17:1-18 Lyrics: 1 Begin, my tongue, some heavenly 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 power abroad; sing the sweet promise of his grace and our fulfilling 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 He said, "Let wide the heaven be spread,' and heaven was stretched abroad; 'Abram, I'll be your God,' he said and he was Abram's God. 5 O might I hear your heavenly tongue but whisper, 'You are mine'; those gentle words should raise my song to notes almost divine. 6 How would my leaping heart rejoice, and think my heaven secure! I trust the all-creating voice, and faith desires no more.

Thus did pious Abraham pray

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 17:18 Lyrics: 1 Thus did pious Abraham pray For his beloved son: Let parents in the present day His language make their own. 2 Tho' they with God in cov'nant be, And have their heav'n in view; They are unhappy till they see Their children happy too. 3 They warn, indulge, correct, beseech, While tears in torrents flow; And 'tis beyond the pow'r of speech To tell the griefs they know. 4 See the fond father clasp his child; Hark! how his bowels move: "Shalt thou, my offspring, be exil'd From God my Father's love? 5 Shall cruel spirits drag thee down To darkness and despair; Beneath th'Almighty's angry frown, To dwell for ever there? 6 Kind heaven, the dreadful scene forbid! Look down, dear Lord, and bless; I'll wrestle hard, as Jacob did-- May I obtain success?" Topics: Parents and Children; Parents' Prayer for their Children. O that Ishmael might live before thee
