|
<p>They tell me the story of Jesus is old,<br>
|
|
And they ask that we preach something new;<br>
|
|
They say that the Babe, and the Man of the cross,<br>
|
|
For the wise of this world will not do.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">It can never grow old, it can never grow old,<br>
|
|
Though a million times over the story is told;<br>
|
|
While sin lives unvanquished, and death rules the world,<br>
|
|
The story of Jesus can never grow old.</p>
|
|
<p>Yet the story is old, as the sunlight is old,<br>
|
|
Though it’s new every morn all the same;<br>
|
|
As it floods all the world with its gladness and light,<br>
|
|
Kindling faraway stars by its flame.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>For what can we tell to the weary of heart,<br>
|
|
If we preach not salvation from sin?<br>
|
|
And how can we comfort the souls that depart,<br>
|
|
If we tell not how Christ rose again?</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>So with sorrow we turn from the wise of this world,<br>
|
|
To the wanderers far from the fold;<br>
|
|
With hearts for the message they’ll join in our song,<br>
|
|
That the story can never grow old.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
