Author: Samuel Medley Hymnal: The Hymnbook #134 (1955) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O could I speak the matchless worth,
O could I sound the glories forth
Which in my Saviour shine!
I'd sing His glorious righteousness,
And magnify the wondrous grace
Which made salvation mine,
Which made salvation mine.
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,
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 Soon, 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,
Triumphant in His grace.
Amen. Topics: Christ Adoration and Praise; Christ Beauty; Life Everlasting, The; Jesus Christ Adoration and Praise Scripture: Ephesians 3:8 Tune Title: ARIEL
