Begin, my soul, the exalted lay

Author: Ogilvie Appears in 210 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 148 Lyrics: 1 Begin, my soul, the exalted lay; Let each enraptured thought obey, And praise the Almighty name; Lo! heaven, and earth, and seas, and skies, In one melodious concert rise, To swell the inspiring theme. 2 Thou heaven of heavens, his vast abode, Ye clouds, proclaim your Maker, God; Ye thunders, speak his power; Lo! on the lightning's fiery wing In triumph rides the eternal King The astonished worlds adore. 3 Ye deeps, with roaring billows, rise To join the thunders of the skies; Praise him who bids you roll; His praise in softer notes declare, Each whispering breeze of yielding air, And breathe it to the soul.
