Author: Edith S. Tillotson Hymnal: Sunday School Voices, No.2 #36 (1913) First Line: O the precious story in the Book divine Lyrics: 1 O the precious story in the Book divine,
Ladened with a blessing meant for me and mine,
Sent to win our hearts away from things of earth,
Sent to fill our lives with joys of royal worth.
Chorus:
Love is the story,
“God so loved the world he gave his only Son;”
Love is the story,
Tell it o’er and o’er till ev’ry soul is won.
2 O the welcome story of that heav’nly Friend,
He whose tender, patient care will never end;
Tho’ afar in other paths our feet may stray,
Gladly he will lead us back to his own way. [Chorus]
3 O the blessed story of that life laid down;
Of the cross of sorrow and the thorny crown;
Ev’ry soul’s redemption by that act he sought;
All the world’s salvation by that price he bought. [Chorus]
