Begin my soul, some heav’nly 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 hath writ the sacred word,
With an immortal pen.
