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!
