1 Grato é contar a história do divinal favor,
De Cristo e Sua glória, de Cristo e Seu amor.
Eu me alegro em descrevê-la,
Pois sei que gozo traz;
Se nada aqui me anima, Jesus me satisfaz.

Refrain:
Grato é contar a história (3 vezes)
De Cristo e Seu amor.

2 Grato é contar a história de quanto Cristo fez;
Parece, ao repeti-la, mais doce cada vez.
Eu me alegro em descrevê-la,
Pois há quem nunca ouviu
Que resgatar Seu povo Jesus já conseguiu.

3 Grato é contar a história do feito sem rival,
Que, em seu portento e graça, não reconhece igual.
Eu me alegro em descrevê-la,
Pois fez-me muito bem,
Por isso quero agora contá-la a ti, também.

HANKEY (Fischer)

HANKEY has many characteristics of a gospel song: stepwise melodic motion, verse refrain form, and simple harmony. After hearing both hymn texts from Hankey's poems quoted by one of the speakers at an 1867 YMCA convention in Montreal, Quebec, gospel hymn writer William H. Doane (PHH 473) was inspire…
