Lyrics

Tell the sweet sto­ry of Je­sus our king,
Over and ov­er again;
Unto the world of His ma­jes­ty sing,
Over and ov­er again.

Refrain

Over and ov­er again,
Over and ov­er again,
Over and ov­er again,
Tell the sweet story of Christ and His glo­ry,
Over and ov­er again.

Tell of the grace that can save us from sin,
Over and ov­er again;
Tell how He died our sal­va­tion to win,
Over and ov­er again.

Refrain

Tell of His vic­to­ry ov­er the grave,
Over and ov­er again;
Tell of His won­der­ful pow­er to save,
Over and ov­er again.

Refrain

Tell of the joy that He gives, and of peace,
Over and ov­er again;
Tell of His bless­ings that daily in­crease,
Over and ov­er again.

Refrain

Tell of the home He has gone to pre­pare,
Over and ov­er again;
Tell of the glo­ry we with Him may share,
Over and ov­er again.
