1. If I could only tell Him as I know Him,
My Redeemer who has brightened all my way;
If I could tell how precious is His presence,
I am sure that you make Him yours today.
Chorus:
Could I tell it, could I tell it,
(Could I tell it, yes, I would, Could I tell it as I should,)
How the sunshine of His presence lights my way,
I would tell it, I would tell it,
(I would tell you, yes, I would, I would tell you if I could,)
And I’m sure that you would make Him yours today.
2. If I could only tell you how He loves you,
And if we could thro’ the lonely garden go,
If I could tell His dying pain and pardon,
You would worship at His wounded feet I know.
3. If I could tell how sweet will be His welcome,
In that home whose wondrous beauty ne’er was told;
And tell you how He waits and longs to save you,
You would seek Him, and abide within His fold.
4. But I can never tell Him as I know Him;
Human tongues can never tell of love divine;
I only can entreat you to accept Him;
Come and know the joy and peace forever mine.
