Story behind the song

This marvelous hymn text was a favorite of R. A. Torrey, one of my spiritual heroes.  (Visit http://www.freewebs.com/ratorrey for more information on this remarkable man of faith.)  My choral setting is one of my favorite compositions.  This is the third movement

Lyrics

O Could I Speak the Matchless Worth
Samuel Medley (1789)

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

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.

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.

Well, 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.
