Hymn 75<br>
[[C.M.]]<br>
1. Begin, my tongue, the heavenly theme,<br>
Awake, my heart, and sing<br>
The word, unchangeably the same,<br>
Of our eternal King.

2. Tell of his wondrous faithfulness,<br>
And sound his power abroad;<br>
Sing the sweet promise of his grace,<br>
And the performing God.

3. Proclaim, "Salvation from the Lord,<br>
To wretched, dying men:"<br>
His hand hath writ the sacred word<br>
With an immortal pen.

4. Engraved as in eternal brass,<br>
The mighty promise shines;<br>
Nor can the powers of darkness rase<br>
Those everlasting lines.

5. Yes, every word of grace is strong<br>
As that which built the skies;<br>
The voice that rolls the stars along<br>
Speaks all the promises.

6. O, might I hear that heavenly tongue<br>
But whisper, "Thou art mine!"<br>
That gracious word should raise my song<br>
To notes almost divine.
