there is a story sweet to hear

There is a story sweet to hear,

I love to tell it too;

it fills my heart with hope and cheer,

This old yet ever new.




This old, yet ever new,

This old, yet ever new;

I know, I feel This true;

This old, yet ever new.




It tells me God the Son came down

from glory’s throne to die,

that I might live and wear a crown,

and reign with Him on high.




It says He bore the Cross for me,

and suffered in my place,

that I from sin might ransomed be,

and praise Him for His grace.




Oh wondrous love, so great, so vast,

so boundless and so free!

Lord, at Thy feet myself I cast;

my all I give to Thee!
