| Text: | If I Were a Voice |
| Tune: | [If I were a voice, a persuasive voice] |
| Composer: | J. Calvin Bushey |
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.
Refrain:
I would fly
Far away
I'd point to the light,
Show sin's darksome night,
That men might take heed and be free.
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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
