BH 146Praise and Adoration

O Could I Speak the Matchless Worth

1. O could I speak the matchless worth,
O could I sound the glories forth
Which in my Savior shine,
I'd soar and touch the heavenly strings, And vie with
Gabriel while he sings
In notes almost divine,
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,
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.
Amen.
