Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 306 hymnals Topics: Confession of Faith 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. Scripture: Genesis 15:5 Used With Tune: ST MAGNUS

Fully, through Thee, absolved I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 4 This spotless robe the same appears When ruined nature sinks in years; Age cannot change its constant hue, Thy blood preserves it ever new. 5 And when the dead shall hear Thy voice, Thy banished children shall rejoice; Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus, the Lord our Righteousness. Amen. Used With Tune: CHRISTI BLUT
