Faithfulness of God. Numb. 23. 19; Ps. 89. 1-8

1 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 Proclaim, “Salvation from the Lord,
  For wretched dying men”;
  His hand has writ the sacred word
  With an immortal pen.

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

5 He that can dash whole worlds to death,
  And make them when he please,
  He speaks, and that almighty breath
  Fulfils his great decrees.

6 His every word of grace is strong
  As that which built the skies;
  The voice that rolls the stars along
  Speaks all the promises.
