Author: Samuel Medley Hymnal: Laudes Domini #159 (1890) First Line: Oh, could I speak the matchless worth Lyrics: 1 Oh, could I speak the matchless worth
Oh, could I sound the glories forth,
Which in my Saviour shine!
I'd soar, and touch the heavenly strings,
And view with Gabriel while he sings
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 heavenly dress
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.
4 Well--the delightful day will come,
When my dear Lord will bring me home,
And I shall see his face:
Then with my Saviour, Brother, Friend,
A blest eternity I'll spend,
Triumphant in his grace. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ; Christ Character of; Christ Friend; Christ Life of; Christ Saviour; Christ Character of; Christ Friend; Christ Life of; Christ Saviour Languages: English Tune Title: ARIEL
