“0 Could I Speak the Match
less Worth” by Samuel Medley
(1738-1799) is the hymn we have
chosen for our Hymn of the
Week.
Medley was born in England,
served as an apprentice to an oil
dealer and not liking the busi
ness joined the British Navy. He
was wounded in a battle with a
French ship and retired be
cause of his wounds. His father,
a school teacher, saw to it that
he was well educated. The
prayers of his grandfather were
answered, young Medley was
converted and became a Baptist
minister.
Here is the hymn:
0 could I speak
the matchless worth,
0 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,
In notes almost divine.
I’d sing the precious
blood He spilt,
My ransom from the dreadful
guilt
Os sin and wrath divine!
I’d sing His glorious right
eousness,
In which all perfect heavenly
dress
My soul shall ever shine,
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,
Make all His glories known.
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,
Ablest eternity I’ll spend,
Triumphant in His grace,
Triumphant in His grace.
