"If I were a voice"

Hymnal: The Morning Star #97 (1877) First Line: If I were a voice, a persuasive voice Refrain First Line: I would fly, I would fly Lyrics: 1 If I were a voice, a persuasive voice, That could travel this wide world through; I would fly on the beams of the morning light, I would speak to men with a gentle might, I'd tell them to be true. I would fly, I would fly over land and sea, Wherever a human heart could be; Telling a tale, or singing a song, In praise of the right, or in blame of the wrong. Chorus: I would fly, I would fly, I would fly, I would fly, I would fly over land and sea. 2 If I were a voice, a consoling voice, I would fly on the wings of air; The homes of sorrow and guilt I'd seek, And calm and truthful words I'd speak, To save them from despair. I would fly, I would fly o'er the crowded town, I'd drop like the happy sunbeam down Into the hearts of suffering men, I'd teach them to look up again. Chorus] 3 If I were a voice, an immortal voice, That could travel this wide world round; Wherever man to his idols bowed, I'd publish in notes both long and loud, The gospel's joyful sound. I would fly, I would fly on the wings of day, Proclaiming peace on my world-wide way; Bidding this saddened earth rejoice, If I were a voice, an immortal voice. [Chorus] Tune Title: [If I were a voice, a persuasive voice]
