The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#85

85. The Half Was Never Told

1 Repeat the story o'er and o'er,
Of grace so full and free;
I love to hear it more and more,
Since grace has rescued me.

The half was never told,
The half was never told,
Of grace divine, so wonderful,
The half was never told.

2 Of peace I only knew the name,
Nor found my soul its rest,
Until the sweet-voiced angel came
To soothe my weary breast.

The half was never told,
The half was never told,
Of peace divine, so wonderful,
The half was never, never told.

3 My highest place is lying low
At my Redeemer's feet;
No real joy in life I know,
But in his service sweet.

The half was never told,
The half was never told,
Of joy divine, so wonderful,
The half was never told.

4 And, O what rapture will it be,
With all the host above,
To sing, through all eternity,
The wonders of his love.

The half was never told,
The half was never told,
Of love divine, so wonderful,
The half was never told.
