38. The Wonderful Story

1 O sweet is the story of Jesus,
The wonderful Savior of men,
Who suffered and died for the sinner -
I'll tell it again and again!

Chorus:
O wonderful, wonderful story,
(O wonderful story, O wonderful story)
The dearest that ever was told;
(The dearest that ever, that ever was told;)
I'll repeat it in glory,
(I'll repeat it in glory)
The wonderful story,
(The wonderful story,)
Where I shall His beauty behold.
Where I shall His beauty, His beauty behold)

2 He came from the brightest of glory;
His blood as a ransom He gave,
To purchase eternal redemption,
And, O He is mighty to save! [Chorus]

3 His mercy flows on like a river;
His love is unmeasured and free;
His grace is forever sufficient,
It reaches and purifies me. [Chorus]
