There is a story sweet to hear,
I love to tell it too;
It fills my heart with hope and cheer,
'Tis old, yet ever new.

Refrain:
'Tis old, yet ever new,
'Tis old, yet ever new,
I know, I'm sure 'tis true,
'Tis old, yet ever new.

It tells me God the Son came down
From glory's throne to die,
That I might live and wear a crown,
And reign with Him on high.

It says He bore the cross for me
And suffered in my place,
That I from sin might ransomed be,
And praise Him for His grace.

O wondrous love, so great, so vast,
So boundless and so free!
Lord, at Thy feet myself I cast;
My all I give to Thee!
