A sto­ry sweet and won­drous,
Like heav’n­ly mu­sic swells;
In chim­ings clear to all who will hear,
Ring out the Gos­pel bells.

Refrain

For God so loved the world
That He gave His on­ly be­got­ten Son,
That who­so­ev­er be­liev­eth in Him,
Whosoever be­liev­eth in Him
Should not per­ish,
Should not per­ish,
But have ev­er­last­ing life.

When, griev­ing, brok­en­heart­ed,
Because of sin and shame,
We find a joy earth can­not de­stroy,
Believing on His name.

Refrain

This love be­yond all mea­sure
Of earth or sea or sky,
Could on­ly show its full ov­er­flow,
When Je­sus came to die.

Refrain

Come, bro­ther, come to Je­sus;
His Word was meant for you;
His grace re­ceive, His pro­mise be­lieve,
And sing His praise anew.
