| Lyrics |
1 O the precious gospel story,
How it tells of love to all,
How the Saviour in compassion,
Died to save us from the fall;
How He came to seek the lost ones,
And to bring them to His fold;--
Let us hasten to proclaim it,
For the story must be told.
Chorus:
The story must be told,
The story must be told,
That Jesus died for sinners lost,
The story must be told.
2 O the blessed gospel story,
Of His meek and lowly birth,--
And the welcome of the angels
When they sang good-will to earth;--
Of the cross, on which He suffered,--
As by prophets seen of old,--
Of His death and resurrection,
Let the story now be told. [Chorus]
3 O the wondrous gospel story,
There is life in every word;
There is hope and consolation,
Where the message sweet is heard;
Let us tell it to the weary,
And its beauties all unfold;
'Tis the only guide to heaven,
And the story must be told. [Chorus] |
