Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Common Praise #388 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Common Praise Lyrics: 1 Begin, my soul, some heavenly theme,
awake, my voice, and sing
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,
the quickening word of God.
3 Engraved as in eternal brass,
the mighty promise shines;
nor can the powers of darkness rase
those everlasting lines.
4 His every word of grace is strong,
as that which built the skies;
the voice that rolls the stars along
speaks all the promises.
5 Now shall my fainting heart rejoice
to know thy favour sure:
I trust the all-creating voice,
and faith desires no more. Scripture: 2 Peter 3:5 Languages: English Tune Title: ST MAGNUS
Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme
