The Sweetest Story Ever Told

Author: J. P. S. Hymnal: The Modern Hymnal #428 (1926) First Line: When a child, I used to hear my mother Refrain First Line: That's the sweetest story ever told Lyrics: 1 When a child, I used to hear my mother Sing a song that never has grown old; ‘Twas the first time I had heard of the Savior, ‘Tis the sweetest story ever told. Refrain: That’s the sweetest story ever told, It’s a story that ne’er grows old; How His wonderful love bro’t Him down from above, ‘Tis the sweetest story ever told. 2 I have yielded to this Christ, my Savior, And the half has never yet been told; For each day he is to me growing dearer, ‘Tis the sweetest story ever told. [Refrain] 3 I am walking ev’ry day with my Savior, And each day new treasures I behold; How we thro’ His love and grace find God’s favor, Is the sweetest story ever told. [Refrain] Topics: Love; Mothers' Songs; Solos Languages: English Tune Title: [When a child, I used to hear my mother]
