Lyrics

Wonderful story of love;
Tell it to me again;
Wonderful sto­ry of love;
Wake the im­mor­tal strain!
Angels with rap­ture an­nounce it,
Shepherds with won­der re­ceive it;
Sinner, O won’t you be­lieve it?

Refrain

Wonderful sto­ry of love,
Wonderful! Won­der­ful!
Wonderful, won­der­ful sto­ry of love.

Wonderful sto­ry of love;
Though you are far away;
Wonderful st­ory of love;
Still He doth call to­day;
Calling from Cal­va­ry’s mount­ain,
Down from the crys­tal bright fount­ain,
E’en from the dawn of cre­ation,

Refrain

Wonderful sto­ry of love;
Jesus pro­vides a rest;
Wonderful sto­ry of love;
For all the pure and blest,
Rest in those man­sions above us,
With those who’ve gone on be­fore us,
Singing the rap­tur­ous chor­us,

Refrain
