Author: K. Shaw Hymnal: The Morning Star #14 (1877) First Line: Man was lost--but wonderful story Refrain First Line: But the half has never been told Lyrics: 1 Man was lost--but wonderful story,
Tho' he'd wandered away from the fold;
There was love from the Father in glory,
But the half has never been told.
Chorus:
But the half has never been told,
The half has never been told;
Till we meet our Savior in glory,
The half can never be told.
2 Jesus came--oh, wonderful Savior,
He suffered that love to un-fold;
We have heard, and we speak of His favor,
But the half has never been told. [Chorus]
3 Jesus died on Calvary's mountain,
His name with transgressors enrolled;
To open for sinners a fountain,
But the half has never been told. [Chorus]
4 He arose--he ascended--blest Savior,
He is coming again, we are told;
We "shall see Him"--"be like Him" forever,
But the half has never been told. [Chorus]
5 O sinner, come trust our Redeemer,
He'll gather you into His fold;
He will pardon you, bless you, and save you,
But the half has never been told. [Chorus] Scripture: John 21:25 Tune Title: [Man was lost--but wonderful story]

Knowles Shaw
1834 - 1878 Author of "The Half Has Never Been Told" Knowles Shaw (1834-1878), a name familiar in many western households--was born near New London, in Morgan Township, Ohio, on the 13th of October, 1834. His mother's maiden name was Huldah Griffin, and by both of his parents he was of Scottish extraction. His early life was spent in Rush County, Indiana, where he first began to play the violin, furnishing the music for many a dance. While the ball was going on he was converted, ceasing to play in the middle of the piece he was performing. Very soon thereafter he entered the ministry of the Christian Church. On the 11th of January, 1855, he married Miss Martha Finley. Most of his time after entering the ministry was spent in the West and South, and on account of his wonderful vocal powers he was called the "singing evangelist."
As a singer he was considered, in some respects, equal to Sankey and Bliss. reporters of the press al spoke of his singing as something wonderful. Soon after beginning to preach, he began to compose and to write music. His first song was "The Shining Ones," still popular. He published at different times five singing-books: "Shining Pearls," "Golden Gate," "Sparkling Jewels," "The Gospel Trumpet," and the "Morning Star." "Bringing in the Sheaves" was one of the last songs from his hand.
His last meeting was held in Dallas, Texas, in May 1878. He was killed by a railroad accident, going from Dallas to McKinney, on the 7th of June, 1878. During his ministry he baptized over eleven thousand persons.
