Author: E. R. Latta Hymnal: Twentieth (20th) Century Songs Part One #119 (1900) Lyrics: Come and hear the story told,
Of the Savior from above;
It will more thy heart to pity,
It will move thy heart to love;
All the glory that He had
with the Father on His throne,
Lo! He casts aside for sinners,
That He might for them atone.
Chorus:
Come and hear the story told,
Of the Savior from above;
It will more thy heart to pity,
It will move thy heart to love.
Oh, the poverty and woe
That the Savior took instead
Of the glory and the riches
That were all around Him spread;
Yes, my eyes are moved to tears,
and my heart to sympathy,
When I listen to the story
Of the Savior’s love for me.
Just as sweet the story sounds
Of the blessed Savior’s birth,
As it did to watching Shepherds
When it first was born to earth;
Just as sweet the story seems,
Tho’ I’ve heard it o’er and o’er,
Of the Savior’s love and pity,
Such as ne’er was shown before.
