We Have Heard the Wondrous Story

We have heard the won­drous sto­ry

Of the Sav­ior’s low­ly birth;

How He left the throne of glo­ry

To re­deem the host of earth.

To the fold

to the fold

We an en­trance seek to win;

And we wait at the gate;

Jesus

Shep­herd

let us in.

We are com­ing

we are com­ing

Faithful hearts to Him we bring;

We are heirs of life im­mor­tal

Subjects of a heav­en­ly king.

We are com­ing to the Sav­ior

Fleeing from the host of sin;

And we seek our Fa­ther’s king­dom:

Jesus

Mas­ter

let us in.

We are com­ing to the fount­ain

That will wash our sins away;

We are called

we glad­ly fol­low

And the lov­ing voice ob­ey.
