Representative Text

1 Sing the Gospel story, how the Lord from Glory,
Came to earth and dwelt with men,
To win them back to Him again.
To seek the vile and lowly, make them pure and holy,
Bring them into joy with Him, because He loved them so!

Refrain:
Swell the chorus!
Echo the glad Redemption song!
Let every tongue confess Him,
Unto Him praises sing!
God is for us!
Sweetly the joyful strains prolong,
Till every knee, bended shall be,
Unto our Lord and King!

2 Sing the Gospel story, how the Lord from Glory,
Claimed His own and was denied,
Was led away and crucified!
His life He freely gave, that He might any save
Who would repent and trust in Him, because He loved them so! [Refrain]

3 Sing the Gospel story, how the Lord from Glory,
From the mystery of death,
Triumphant came with living breath,
That men should see His face, and through His mighty grace,
Have life that is, and evermore, because He loved them so! [Refrain]

4 Sing the Gospel story, how the Lord from Glory,
From the earth went up to heav’n,
Made a place for men forgiven.
Now is interceding, patiently is pleading,
Bidding them return to Him, because He loved them so! [Refrain]
