O Could I Speak the Matchless Worth

Author: Rev. Samuel Medley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 739 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O could I speak the matchless worth, O could I sound the glories forth Which in my Savior shine, I'd soar, and touch the heav'nly strings, And vie with Gabriel while he sings In notes almost divine, In notes almost divine. 2 I'd sing the precious blood He spilt, My ransom from the dreadful guilt Of sin, and wrath divine: I'd sing His glorious righteousness, In which all-perfect, heavn'ly dress My soul shall ever shine, My soul shall ever shine. 3 I'd sing the characters He bears, And all the forms of love He wears, Exalted on His throne: In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all His glories known, Make all His glories known. 4 Well, the delightful day will come When my dear Lord will bring me home, And I shall see His face; Then with my Savior, Brother, Friend, A blest eternity I'll spend, Triumphant in His grace, Triumphant in His grace. Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Preciousness Used With Tune: ARIEL

Jesus, Thou Soul of All Our Joys

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Thou soul of all our joys, For whom we now lift up our voice, And all our strength exert; Vouchsafe the grace we humbly claim, Compose into a thankful frame, And tune Thy people’s heart. 2. While in the heavenly work we join, Thy glory be our whole design, Thy glory, not our own: Still let us keep our end in view, And still the pleasing task pursue, To please our God alone. 3. The secret pride, the subtle sin, O let it never more steal in, To offend Thy glorious eyes, To desecrate our hallowed strain, And make our solemn service vain, And mar our sacrifice! 4. To magnify Thy awful name, To spread the honors of the Lamb, Let us our voices raise; Our souls’ and bodies’ powers unite, Regardless of our own delight, And dead to human praise. 5. Still let us on our guard be found, And watch against the power of sound With sacred jealousy; Lest haply sense should damp our zeal, And music’s charms bewitch and steal Our hearts away from Thee. 6. That hurrying strife far oft remove, That noisy burst of selfish love, Which swells the formal song; The joy from out our hearts arise, And speak and sparkle in our eyes, And vibrate on our tongue. 7. Thee let us praise, our common Lord, And sweetly join with one accord Thy goodness to proclaim: Jesus, Thyself in us reveal, And all our faculties shall feel Thy harmonizing name. 8. With calmly reverential joy, O let us all our lives employ In setting forth Thy love; And raise in death our triumph higher, And sing with all the heavenly choir, That endless song above!
