Representative Text

1 We never grow weary of telling
The story of Jesus our King;
Who left the bright throne of His glory,
And came with great treasures to bring.

Refrain:
O wonderful gift of the Gospel,
That each in our hearts may receive!
It offers to all free salvation,
And happy are they that believe.

2 We never grow weary of telling
His love to the poor and oppressed;
And still He is tenderly calling,
Come hither, ye weary, and rest. [Refrain]

3 We never grow weary of telling
Of yonder bright mansions above;
Where we shall behold our Redeemer,
And dwell in the smile of His love. [Refrain]
