O sweet is the sto­ry of Je­sus,
The won­der­ful Sav­ior of men,
Who suf­fered and died for the sin­ner,
I’ll tell it again and again!

Refrain

O won­der­ful, won­der­ful sto­ry
The dear­est that ev­er was told;
I’ll re­peat it in glo­ry,
The won­der­ful sto­ry,
Where I shall His beau­ty behold.

He came from the bright­est of glo­ry;
His blood as a ran­som He gave,
To pur­chase eter­nal re­dem­ption;
And, O, He is migh­ty to save!

Refrain

His mer­cy flows on like a ri­ver;
His love is un­mea­sured and free;
His grace is for­ev­er suf­fi­cient,
It reach­es and pu­ri­fies me.
