TELLING AND LIVING
If I Could But Tell All the Glory
Author: Eleanor Allen Schroll Appears in 4 hymnals Refrain First Line: But better than telling is living Lyrics: 1 If I could but tell all the glory
That shines in my soul day by day;
Or if I could tell of the Saviour,
Till echoes would ring it for aye;
I’d shout it aloud from the mountain,
I’d sing it o’er valley and plain;
I’d tell it and tell it and tell it,
Till millions would hear the refrain.
Refrain:
But better than telling is living
A life ever faithful and true;
Then soul’s that are waiting in darkness,
Will see Jesus’ love shining thru.
2 If I could but tell of His goodness,
His love, and His infinite care;
Or if I could show you the vision,
I see when I meet Him in pray’r;
Or if I could tell the old story
Till others would feel He was near;
I’d tell it and tell it and tell it,
All nations His praises would hear. [Refrain]
3 If I could but tell you of Jesus,
Of how I was saved by His grace;
Or if could but paint the compassion
I see in the dear Master’s face;
I’d sing till the faraway echoes,
Would ring from the earth to the sky,
I’d tell it and tell it and tell it
In praises that never would die. [Refrain] Used With Tune: TELLING AND LIVING
