Faithfulness.

Begin, my tongue, some heavenly 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 power abroad;

Sing the sweet promise of his grace,

And the performing 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 Oh, might I hear thy heavenly tongue

But whisper, "Thou art mine!"

Those gentle words should raise my song

To notes almost divine.

Isaac Watts.
