Christ My Song - 2335
Speak, lips of mine! - Bless the Lord
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Bless the Lord.
1. Speak, lips of mine!
and tell abroad
the praises of thy God.
Speak, stammering tongue!
in gladdest tone,
make his high praises known. PDF - Midi
2. Speak, sea and earth!
heaven's utmost star,
speak from your realms afar!
Take up the note,
and send it round
creation's farthest bound.
3. Speak, heaven of heavens!
wherein our God
has made his bright abode.
Speak, angels, speak!
in songs proclaim
his everlasting name.
4. Speak, son of dust!
thy flesh he took,
and heaven for thee forsook.
Speak, child of death!
thy death he died;
bless thou the Crucified!
