The Half Was Never Told

Composer: Philip Bliss, 1870

Repeat the sto­ry o’er and o’er

Of grace so full and free;

I love to hear it more and more

Since grace has res­cued me.

The half was nev­er told

The half was nev­er told

Of grace di­vine

so won­der­ful

The half was nev­er told.

Of peace I on­ly knew the name

Nor found my soul its rest

Until the sweet-voiced an­gel came

To soothe my wea­ry breast.

The half was nev­er told

The half was nev­er told

Of peace di­vine

so won­der­ful

The half was nev­er told.

My high­est place is ly­ing low

At my Re­deem­er’s feet;

No real joy in life I know

But in His serv­ice sweet.

The half was nev­er told

The half was nev­er told

Of joy di­vine

so won­der­ful

The half was nev­er told.

And oh

what rap­ture will it be

With all the host above

To sing through all eter­ni­ty

The won­ders of His love.

The half was nev­er told

The half was nev­er told

Of love di­vine

so won­der­ful

The half was nev­er told.
