Author: K. Shaw Hymnal: The Morning Star #14 (1877) First Line: Man was lost--but wonderful story Refrain First Line: But the half has never been told Lyrics: 1 Man was lost--but wonderful story,
Tho' he'd wandered away from the fold;
There was love from the Father in glory,
But the half has never been told.
Chorus:
But the half has never been told,
The half has never been told;
Till we meet our Savior in glory,
The half can never be told.
2 Jesus came--oh, wonderful Savior,
He suffered that love to un-fold;
We have heard, and we speak of His favor,
But the half has never been told. [Chorus]
3 Jesus died on Calvary's mountain,
His name with transgressors enrolled;
To open for sinners a fountain,
But the half has never been told. [Chorus]
4 He arose--he ascended--blest Savior,
He is coming again, we are told;
We "shall see Him"--"be like Him" forever,
But the half has never been told. [Chorus]
5 O sinner, come trust our Redeemer,
He'll gather you into His fold;
He will pardon you, bless you, and save you,
But the half has never been told. [Chorus] Scripture: John 21:25 Tune Title: [Man was lost--but wonderful story]
The half has never been told
