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 feel it’s true:
’Tis old but ev­er new.

They tell me God the Son came down
From His bright throne to die,
That I might wear a star­ry crown,
And dwell with Him on high.

Refrain

They say He bore the cross for me,
And suf­fered in my place,
That I might al­ways hap­py be,
And ran­somed by His grace.

Refrain

O won­drous love! so great, so vast,
So bound­less and so free!
Low at Thy feet my all I cast;
I co­vet on­ly Thee.
