1 I have heard a most wonderful story!
Of a Shepherd, so faithful and bold,
That he sought, thro’ the dark night of suff’ring,
For the lost one away from the fold!
Have you heard of that Shepherd, so faithful and bold,
Who sought for the lost one away from the fold?
Who sought for the lost one away from the fold?

2 I have heard a most wonderful story!
Of a Brother, so loving and brave,
That to rescue and save the poor sinner,
His own life blood he willingly gave!
Have you heard of this Brother, so loving and brave,
Who gave his own life-blood poor sinners to save?
Who gave his own life-blood poor sinners to save?

3 I have heard a most wonderful story!
Of a Savior, so patient and true,
That he calls in the highways and hedges,
Without ceasing, for wand’rers like you,
Have you heard of this Savior, so patient and true,
Who calls without ceasing for wand’rers like you?
Who calls without ceasing, for wand’rers like you?
