If I Were a Voice

Verse 1

If I were a voice, A persuasive voice, I could travel the wide world thro’, I would fly on the gleam of the morning beam, And tell men to be true.

Chorus

I would fly Far away I'd point to the light, Show sin's darksome night, That men might take heed and be free.

Verse 2

If I were a voice, A consoling voice, I would travel with wings of air; And the dwellings of sorrow and guilt I'd seek, To save men from despair.

Verse 3

If I were a voice, An immortal voice, I would travel the earth around, And wherever a man to his idols bow'd, The gospel note I'd sound.
