Lyrics

No oth­er sto­ry will bear re­peat­ing
As oft­en as this is told;
God’s glad good news of His love to sin­ners
Are tid­ings which ne­ver grow old.

Refrain

Tell it again and again,
Tell it again and again,
The Gos­pel sto­ry, of grace and glo­ry,
Bears tell­ing again and again.

Proclaim with joy how the cross of suf­fer­ing
Will ne­ver be borne again.
That on­ly glo­ry awaits the Sav­ior,
That soon He will come to reign.

Refrain

Go tell the sto­ry in far off coun­tries,
Let ev­ery poor sin­ner hear
How Christ the Sav­ior has died to win them,
His love ov­er­comes all fear.

Refrain

The whole sweet sto­ry is not yet fin­ished,
The se­quel is but be­gun;
When all the ran­somed are safe­ly ga­thered,
E’en then it will not be done.

Refrain

Each heart that op­ens to hear the tid­ings,
Receiving the Sav­ior’s love,
Will add a page to re­demp­tion’s his­to­ry
Rehearsed in the home ab­ove.
