Oh! could I speak the matchless worth

1Oh! 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 vie with Gabriel while he sings In notes almost divine.

2I'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.

3Well, the delightful day will come, When my dear Lord will take me home, And I shall see his face; Then, with my Saviour, brother, friend, A blest eternity I'll spend, Triumphant in his grace.
