- We used to sing this one, unaccompanied, in the Gospel Hall at Burnham Market. As a Welsh tune, with fine passing harmonies, it was eminently suited for this. Although I had my issues with the Brethren, I do believe that on some of these occasions the risen Jesus walked among us and we felt the touch of his presence.
The song itself is older, based on a hymn by Samuel Medley (1738-99), who was converted under the ministry of Isaac Watts and ended up as a Baptist pastor with a large congregation in Liverpool. The original is even more ecstatic and personal, beginning with the line "O could I speak the matchless worth ... I'd soar and touch the heavenly strings, and vie with Gabriel while he sings".

God bless you brother in Christ.
Your remark about the Brethren tells me we have very similar backgrounds (and probably similar issues). Delightful to recall this hymn. I still have my copy of 'The Believer's Hymnbook' in my desk.
