O Tell the Sweet Old Story

O tell me o’er and o’er again

The tale I love so well

Of how the King of glo­ry left His throne

And came a hum­ble man among

Our sin­ful race to dwell

That He might save and claim us for His own.

O tell the sweet old sto­ry once again

Of how the Sav­ior loved the sons of men;

He loved them

oh

so well

He came on earth to dwell;

O tell the sweet old Gos­pel story once again.

I am both weak and sin­ful

But one thing I sure­ly know

That Je­sus fills my heart with grace and love

That He will guide me safe­ly thro’

My jour­ney here below

And then will take me to Him­self above.

O tell again the sto­ry

Of His mer­cy and His grace

The sto­ry that is told of Him alone;

Of how He died in tor­ment

In the help­less sin­ner’s place

And con­quered and is now up­on His throne.
