Lyrics

O let me tell it once again,
The sto­ry of His love,
Who came to seek and save the lost,
And guide them safe above.

Refrain

O tell the sto­ry once again,
The sto­ry of His love;
The sto­ry that with rap­ture fills
The bound­less realms above.

He bore our frail hu­ma­ni­ty,
Our bro­ther He be­came,
That He, up­on the blood-stained cross,
Might bear our sin and shame.

Refrain

Come un­to Me, His ten­der call;
The Spir­it doth en­treat,
The Bride, the Church, re-ech­oes, Come;
Let each the call re­peat.

Refrain

For who­so­ev­er will may come—
Exhaustless the sup­ply—
And, from life’s ev­er­last­ing fount,
May drink and ne­ver die.
