1 Beautiful story of Jesus who died,
Beautiful story of Christ crucified;
Beautiful story of sin washed away:
Tell me this story, O tell it, I pray.

Refrain:
Beautiful story, story of love,
Tell me of Jesus sent from above;
Tell it, O tell it yet, more and yet more;
Tell of redemption from sin and its power.

2 Beautiful story of sacrifice made,
Beautiful story of life from the dead,
Beautiful story of power bestowed,
Beautiful story of Spirit and blood. [Refrain]

3 Beautiful story of conscience at ease,
Beautiful story of cure for disease,
Beautiful story of wealth for the poor;
Tell the glad story, yes, over and o'er. [Refrain]

4 Tell it to me when I'm prosperous and glad,
Tell it to me when I'm heavy and sad,
Tell it when suffering from sorrow or pain:
Tell it, then tell it and tell it again! [Refrain]

5 Beautiful story of heaven so bright,
Beautiful story of holiest light;
Beautiful story of sin-slaying power;
Tell me this story, yet more and yet more. [Refrain]
