78. We Sing the Blessed Story

1 We sing the blessed story,
So old, yet ever new,
Of love that never faileth,
Unchanging, tender, true;
The love of Christ our Savior,
Who came to seek and save;
That we might have salvation,
His blood he gave.

Chorus:
We sing the song,
So old yet ever new;
Our Saviour’s love, unchanging, tender, true;
A song of praise, of gladness and of love,
To Christ our King above.

2 We sing the blessed story,
A song of thanks sincere,
For all the many mercies,
Which in our path appear;
For days of sunny brightness,
For nights of starry peace;
For blessings without number,
Still may our praise increase. [Refrain]

3 We sing the blessed story,
Of Christ our Heav’nly Friend;
May we, in sweetest service,
Our time and talents spend;
Led by his loving Spirit,
And strengthened by his grace,
We’ll sing and work for Jesus,
Until we see his face. [Refrain]
