Excerpt from Faith, or Earthly Paradise: And Other Poems Ould I could stand again On the threshold of sunny youth Would I could tell with an angel's tongue The story of God's great truth. Would I could sweep the chords Of some harp that the world would hear That the melting notes of Redeeming Love Might reach each mortal ear. Would I could stand aloft On some mountain-top of thought; And tell all nations of the plan With so much goodness fraught.
