I once heard a sweet story of wonderful love
And it lifted the cross that I bore
Made me think of the home and the dear ones above
I am longing to hear it once more.
I am longing to hear it once more
The story repeat o’er and o’er;
It is rapture divine to know He is mine;
Tho’ afar I had wandered in darkness and sin
And tho’ helpless
and weary
and poor
This sweet story left light
hope and gladness within;
That sweet story of Jesus who died on the tree
Will be told on eternity’s shore;
How He came as a ransom for you and for me
