Christian Worship Excellency Of Christ.
O, could we speak the matchless worth,
O, could we sound the glories forth,
Which in our Saviour shine,
We’d soar, and touch the heavenly strings,
And vie with Gabriel, while he sings,
In notes almost divine.
We’d sing the characters he bears,
And all the forms of love he wears,
Exalted on his throne:
In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
We would, to everlasting days,
Make all his glories known.
O, the delightful day will come,
When Christ our Lord will bring us home
And we shall see his face;
Then, with our Saviour, Brother, Friend,
A blest eternity we’ll spend,
Triumphant in his grace.
