Text:Oh, Shall I Sing?
Author:W. A. Ogden
Tune:[Oh, shall I sing the glad new song]
Composer:W. A. Ogden

122. Oh, Shall I Sing?

1 Oh, shall I sing the glad new song,
And tell the wondrous story,
And from his hand receive a crown
In yonder home of glory?
We may meet at Jesus' feet
And tell the wondrous story,
And from his hand receive a crown
In yonder world of glory.

2 Oh, shall I grasp a friendly hand,
Of one dear soul I've pointed,
To Jesus Christ, the sinners friend,
The King of heav'n anointed?
We may meet at Jesus' feet
The soul of one we've pointed,
To Jesus Christ, the sinner's friend,
The King of heav'n anointed.

3 Oh, shall I meet on yonder shore,
The loved of Jesus singing
"Glory to God! forever more,
In heav'nly praises ringing?
We may meet at Jesus' feet,
Our loved ones sweetly singing,
"Glory to God" forevermore,
In heav'nly praises ringing.
