    If I Were A Voice And whenever I saw the nations torn

    by Charles Mackay By warfare, jealousy, or scorn,

    If I were a voice, a persuasive voice, Or hatred of their kind,

    That could travel the wide world through, I'd fly, I'd fly, on the thunder-crash,

    I would fly on the beams of the morning light, And into their blinded bosoms flash;

    And speak to men with a gentle might, And, all their evil thoughts subdued,

    And tell them to be true. I'd teach them Christian Brotherhood.

    I'd fly, I'd fly, o'er land and sea,

    Wherever a human heart might be, IV.

    Telling a tale, or singing a song,

    In praise of the right - in blame of the wrong. If I were a voice, a pervading voice,

    I'd seek the kings of Earth;

    II. I'd find them alone on their beds at night

    And whisper words that should guide them right

    If I were a voice, a consoling voice, Lessons of priceless worth;

    I'd fly on the wings of air, I'd fly more swift than the swiftest bird,

    The homes of Sorrow and Guilt I'd seek, And tell them things they never heard

    And calm and truthful words I'd speak Truths which the ages for aye repeat

    To save them from Despair. Unknown to the statesmen at their feet.

    I'd fly, I'd fly, o'er the crowded town,

    And drop, like the happy sun-light, down V.

    Into the hearts of suffering men,

    And teach them to rejoice again. If I were a voice, an immortal voice,

    I'd speak in the people's ear;

    III. And whenever they shouted 'Liberty,'

    Without deserving to be free,

    If I were a voice, a convincing voice, I'd make their error clear.

    I'd travel with the wind, I'd fly, I'd fly, on the wings of day,

    And whenever I saw the nations torn Rebuking wrong on my world-wide way,

    By warfare, jealousy, or scorn, And making all the Earth rejoice-

    If I were a voice, a convincing voice, If I were a voice-an immortal voice.

    I 'd travel with the wind,
