How many times has He light­ened our cares,
Over and ov­er again!
How many times has He an­swered our pray­ers,
Over and ov­er again!
Then tell of His good­ness to thee and to thine,
And tell of His mer­cies to me and to mine;
Repeat the old sto­ry of par­don di­vine,
Over and ov­er again.

Refrain

Over and ov­er again,
Over and ov­er again,
O what a won­der­ful story to tell,
Over and ov­er again.

He ne’er re­fus­es to hear, tho’ we call
Over and ov­er again,
Sends show’rs of bless­ings so free­ly on all,
Over and ov­er again;
Oh, why are you si­lent so oft­en, so long,
When tell­ing the story will turn them from wrong?
Then tell it, O tell it in praise or in song,
Over and ov­er again.

Refrain

Tho’ we may wan­der in by­ways of sin,
Over and ov­er again,
The heart of Je­sus will bid us come in,
Over and ov­er again;
Then let us be will­ing, wher­ev­er the place,
To tell of His kind­ness, His par­don, His grace,
And some day in glo­ry we’ll look on His face,
Over and ov­er again.

Refrain
