The Story Sweet and Old
Author: Rev. Wm. Haughton Hymnal: Crowning Day No. 2 #140 (1896) First Line: Have you listened to the story sweet and old Refrain First Line: Story, sweet old story, wondrous story Lyrics: 1 Have you listened to the story sweet and old,
Filling life with light and glory men have told,
How there came a heav’nly stranger,
Cradle low in Beth’lem’s manger,
Strong to shield you from all danger,
God’s dear fold.
Refrain:
Oh, the story, wondrous story,
Filling earth with light and glory,
Oh, the story, sweet old story,
Tell it o’er and o’er again.
2 It is full of human sweetness ever new,
Rich in love divine completeness, oh, how true!
Grief her lonely vigil keeping,
Care her trust with sorrow steeping,
Lift your eyes and heart it weeping,
‘Tis for you. [Refrain]
3 When I heard the wondrous story so divine,
Coming down thro’ annals hoary, Christ was mine,
Oh, that love beyond comparing,
Burdened heart thy sorrow bearing,
For thy sake the thorn crown wearing,
Is he thine? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Have you listened to the story sweet and old]

Sweet And Old
Author: William Haughton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9206 First Line: Have you listened to the story Lyrics: 1 Have you listened to the story,
Sweet and old?
Have you listened to the story,
Filling life with light and glory,
Men have told?
How there came a heav’nly stranger,
Cradled low in Bethl’hem’s manger,
Strong to shield from death and danger
God’s dear fold?
2 He was wronged above all others,
Mocked, denied;
He was wronged above all others,
Bruised and broken, O my brothers,
Crucified;
In a purple robe they bound Him,
With the cruel thorns they crowned Him;
Pitiless, they gathered round Him
Till He died.
3 When I heard the wondrous story,
So divine;
When I heard the wondrous story,
Coming down thro’ annals hoary,
Christ was mine;
O that love beyond comparing,
Burdened heart, thy sorrow sharing,
For thy sake the thorn-crown wearing!
Is He thine?
