Begin, my soul, some heavenly theme

Ephesians_1-3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Begin, my soul, some heavenly theme;

Awake, my voice, and sing

The mighty works, or mightier name,

Of our eternal King.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tell of His wondrous faithfulness,

And sound His power abroad,

Sing the sweet promise of His grace,

And the performing God.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Proclaim salvation from the Lord,

For wretched, dying men:

His hand bath writ the sacred

word

With an immortal pen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Engraved as eternal brass

The mighty promise shines;

Nor can the powers of darkness

‘rase

Those everlasting lines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

His every word of grace is strong

As that which built the skies;

The voice that rolls the stars

along

Speaks all the promises.

 

 

 

Now shall my fainting heart rejoice

To know Thy favour sure:

I trust the all-creating voice,

And faith desires no more.
