178. The Wonderful Story

1 I love to tell the wondrous story,
Of Jesus' love and Jesus' glory;
I love to tell the dear old story--
Story of Jesus who died to save!

Chorus:
O, wonderful story of love!
He left his glory in heav'n above,
And came to earth to toil and suffer,
And die for sinners, his love to prove.

2 Upon the cross I see him bleeding,
At God's right hand I hear him pleading:
For my poor soul he's interceding:
O, wondrous Jesus, who died to save! [Chorus]

3 Since shepherd's heard the angels singing
To dark'ned earth love's message bringing,
Believers have, with joy, been clinging--
Clinging to Jesus, who died to save. [Chorus]

4 When Jesus comes in clouds of glory--
Comes to fulfil redemption's story,
I'll fall before his throne of glory,
And praise my Jesus, who died to save. [Chorus]
