1. Begin, my tongue, some heav’nly 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 pow’r abroad;
Sing the sweet promise of His grace,
And our redeeming 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. O might I hear Thy heav’nly tongue
But whisper, “Thou art Mine,”
Those gentle words should raise my song
To notes almost divine.

on the desp’rate and forlorn.
With a touch You healed the leper,
with a shout You raised the dead;
With a word expelled the demons,
with a blessing broke the bread.Refrain:

My Hiding Place (Hymn 191)
1. Against the God who rules the sky I fought with hands uplifted high;
Despised the mention of His grace, too proud to seek a hiding place!
But an eternal counsel ran: “Almighty love, arrest that man!”
I felt the arrows of disgrace and found I had no hiding place.Refrain:
