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]
