74. The Story that Never Grows Old

1 O tell me the story that never grows old,
The story of One whom the prophets foretold;
The Horn of salvation, the Sceptre and Star,
The Light in the darkness they saw from afar.

Chorus:
It never grows old, It never grows old,
The story of Jesus Will never grow old!

2 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. [Chorus]

3 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. [Chorus]

4 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 Saviour in paying the cost. [Chorus]
