The Story That Never Grows Old (Gray)

lyricist: James Gray, 1899
Composer: Ira Sankey

O tell me the sto­ry that nev­er grows old

The story of One whom the pro­phets fore­told;

The horn of sal­va­tion

the scep­ter and star

The light in the dark­ness they saw from afar.

It nev­er grows old

it nev­er grows old

The sto­ry of Je­sus will nev­er grow old!

O tell me the sto­ry that nev­er grows old

The story the an­gel at Beth­le­hem told;

The Babe in the man­ger

of low­li­est birth

The high­est arch­an­gel ex­cell­ing in worth.

O tell me the sto­ry that nev­er grows old

The sto­ry the Gos­pels re­peat ma­ni­fold;

The love and com­pas­sion in Je­sus we trace

The pow­er and pa­tience

the glo­ry and grace.

O tell me the sto­ry that nev­er grows old

The sto­ry the ag­es to come will un­fold;

The kind­ness of God in re­deem­ing the lost

The death of our Sav­ior in pay­ing the cost.
