How sweet is the story of Christ’s boundless love

lyricist: R. D. Edwards
Composer: William Howard Doane

How sweet is the story of Christ’s boundless love

That brought Him to suffer from glory above!

He died in our stead upon Calvary’s tree

Obtaining redemption that we might be free.

Sound His praise! Sound His praise!

All the work has been done;

Praise His name! Praise His name!

Jesus

God’s blessed Son.

We give Him the glory

our Savior and Friend;

Our song is of Jesus and never will end.

How wondrous the story! the law’s holy claims

Were met by the blood which redemption proclaims.

The judgment of sin has been borne by the Son

Who glorified God in the work He has done.

How brilliant the glory where Christ is enthroned

How rightly His name above others is owned!

Yes

Jesus

the Savior

the glory-crowned Lord

Is worthy by all to be ever adored.
