Speak lips of mine!
   And tell abroad
   The praises of my God.

Speak, stammering tongue!
   Heaven's utmost star,
   Speak from your realms afar!

Take up the note,
   And send it round
   Creation's farthest bound.

Speak, Heaven of heavens!
   Wherein our God
   Has made His bright abode.

Speak, angels, speak!
   In songs proclaim
   His everlasting name.

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.

        - Dr. Bonar
