Hymn Context Compare
’Tis a won­drous old, old sto­ry.
It is sweet for all to sing;
But, Her­od, why this sense­less fear?
Lead me safe­ly on by the nar­row way,
When told that Christ the King is near!
From this drear vale of tears
Following the Mas­ter’s call­ing,
Rule ev­ery realm by right di­vine:
To ani­mate our fee­ble strains,
What a shout was heard
Give your id­ols up,
The broad road leads to an end­less night;
While wide th’in­fer­nal ty­rant reigns
start

realms

Is this won­drous old, old sto­ry;
Comes our Sav­ior and our king!
Who gives the realms of heav’n­ly day.
By the cross of Christ may I ev­er stand,
Who gives the realms that ne’er de­cay.
Hush Thou our griefs and fears,
That we’ll feel our spir­its going
end
The bliss­ful realms, where Je­sus reigns!
When peace and truth, des­cend­ing,
Turn not away
The nar­row way leads to realms of day.
And shall he still go on to boast
Let the eye of pi­ty gaze;
