<p>Oh, beautiful story of Jesus our Lord,<br>
|
|
That brightens and hallows each page of His Word,<br>
|
|
It tells us how humble and lowly His birth,<br>
|
|
How many His trials and sorrows on earth.
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Sweet story of Jesus, the tender and meek,<br>
|
|
Who came in His mercy lost sinners to seek,<br>
|
|
Sweet story of Jesus! though oft it is told,<br>
|
|
We love it, we love it—it never grows old.</p>
|
|
<p>How full of compassion was Jesus our Lord,<br>
|
|
The sick and afflicted to health He restored,<br>
|
|
The poor He remembered, the hungry He fed,<br>
|
|
And gave to the weeping their friends from the dead.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>But when in that story we read how He prayed<br>
|
|
Alone in the garden, beneath its dark shade,<br>
|
|
How, scorned and insulted, He died for our sake,<br>
|
|
Our hearts at his anguish are ready to break.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>But now He has triumphed o’er death and the grave,<br>
|
|
He lives our Redeemer, and mighty to save;<br>
|
|
To Him Who exalted forever shall live,<br>
|
|
All honor, dominion, and glory we give.</p>
