Is It True?

Author: Salathial C. Kirk Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11575 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D First Line: So strange it seemed and wondrous Refrain First Line: I love to hear it spoken Lyrics: 1 So strange it seemed and wondrous, When first it came to me, The story of King Jesus, I asked "Can such things be?" I felt my heart replying, "O if I only knew! The cross, the thorns, the dying! Oh is it, is it true?" Refrain: I love to hear it spoken, I love to read it through; But O for word or token To tell me it is true! 2 And when I heard the story Told o’er and o’er again, How Jesus, now in glory, Was walking still with men, Was filling hearts with gladness, And scattering sunshine through; My own heart longed in sadness To know if it were true. [Refrain] 3 Then softly was it spoken, "Come, lean upon My breast, Ye weary ones, heartbroken, And I will give you rest." My heart, so sad and lonely, A little closer drew; I cried, "O Lord, if only I felt and knew it true!" Last Refrain: My Savior, O my Savior! The old, old story’s new! My strength, my joy forever, I know, I know it’s true. Languages: English Tune Title: MARINA DEL REY
