O tell me the sto­ry that ne­ver grows old,
The story of One whom the pro­phets fore­told;
The horn of sal­va­tion, the scep­ter and star,
The light in the dark­ness they saw from afar.

Refrain

It ne­ver grows old, it ne­ver grows old,
The sto­ry of Je­sus will ne­ver grow old!

O tell me the sto­ry that ne­ver grows old,
The story the an­gel at Beth­le­hem told;
The Babe in the man­ger, of low­li­est birth,
The high­est arch­an­gel ex­cell­ing in worth.

Refrain

O tell me the sto­ry that ne­ver grows old,
The sto­ry the Gos­pels re­peat ma­ni­fold;
The love and com­pas­sion in Je­sus we trace,
The pow­er and pa­tience, the glo­ry and grace.

Refrain

O tell me the sto­ry that ne­ver grows old,
The sto­ry the ag­es to come will un­fold;
The kind­ness of God in re­deem­ing the lost,
The death of our Sav­ior in pay­ing the cost.

Refrain
