409. The Story of Jesus Will Never Grow Old

1 The story of Jesus is precious and sweet,
Its message brings gladness and joy so complete,
More precious than diamonds or silver and gold;
The story of Jesus will never grow old.

Refrain:
The story of Jesus will never grow old,
Its message is sweeter each time it is told;
‘Twill lead to that city, where streets are pure gold,
The story of Jesus will never grow old.

2 The story of Jesus the critics may bar,
‘Twill shine thro’ the ages a bright morning star.
The guide to that city where joys are untold;
The story of Jesus will never grow old. [Refrain]

3 Go tell the sweet story to ev’ry lost soul,
That Jesus the Savior will cleanse and make whole
And give them a home in that sheltering fold;
The story of Jesus will never grow old. [Refrain]
