Author: Samuel Medley Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #258 (1976) Lyrics: 1 O could I speak the matchless worth,O could I sound the glories forthWhich in my Saviour shine,I'd soar, and touch the heavenly strings,And vie with Gabriel while he singsIn notes almost divine,In notes almost divine.2 I'd sing the precious blood He spilt,My ransom from the dreadful guiltOf sin and wrath divine!I'd sing His glorious righteousness,In which all perfect, heavenly dressMy 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 daysMake all His glories known,Make all His glories known.4 Soon the delightful day will comeWhen 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,Triumphant in His grace.Amen.
