The Wonderful Story Is True

lyricist: Esther Chapman, 1906
Composer: Owen Pugh

They tell me a sto­ry

Of won­der­ful love

How One came to earth from

His man­sion above

And poured out His life­blood

Upon Cal­va­ry;

’Twas Je­sus

my Sav­ior

That suf­fered for me.

The sto­ry is true

I know it is true

That won­der­ful sto­ry is true;

It is writ­ten on high

And His word can­not die

That won­der­ful sto­ry is true.

They tell me a sto­ry

Of won­der­ful light;

He rose from the grave in

The pow­er of His might

That one day in glo­ry

With Him I might be;

O Je­sus

my Sav­ior

That vic­to­ry for me!

They tell me a sto­ry

Of won­der­ful grace;

How I

tho’ a sin­ner

May see His dear face;

Since once in His mer­cy

He died to save me;

O Je­sus

my Sav­ior

I’ll now live for Thee!
