The Precious Story (Lowrie)

How pre­cious is the sto­ry

Of our Re­deem­er’s birth

Who left the realms of glo­ry

And came to dwell on earth:

He saw our sad con­di­tion

Our guilt

and sin

and shame;

To save us from per­di­tion

The bless­èd Je­sus came.

He came to earth from Heav­en

To weep and bleed and die

That we might be for­giv­en

And raised to God on high;

His kind­ness and com­pas­sion

To child­ren then were shown

The heirs of His sal­va­tion

He claimed them for His own.

Oh

may I love this Sav­ior

So good

so kind

so mild!

And may I find His fa­vor

A young though sin­ful child;

And in His bliss­ful Heav­en

May I at last ap­pear

With all my sins for­giv­en

To know and praise Him there.
