The Blessèd Story

I love the sto­ry of the cross

That tells of Him who died for me;

I’m count­ing ev­ery­thing but dross

His hum­ble

faith­ful child to be.

Then on I’ll press

the prize to win;

I’ll walk with Him alone

And la­bor in this world of sin

Till He shall call me home.

He called me from the paths of wrong

He filled my trou­bled soul with peace;

I love to speak His name in song

My praise to Him shall nev­er cease.

My un­saved friend

O! hear His voice

And trust your soul to Him alone;

Make Him your ev­er­last­ing choice

And He will lead you safe­ly home.
