Yes, 'tis the same old story

Representative Text

1 Yes, ’tis the same old sto­ry,
Told o’er and ov­er again,
Of how the Lord of glo­ry
Came down to vis­it men:
To purge away trans­gress­ions,
To save them from their sin,
To grant them full re­mis­sion,
And make them pure with­in.

Refrain:
Oh! yes, the same old sto­ry,
Of Christ, the Lord of glo­ry,
Of how He loves the low­ly,
And saves us from our sin.

2 We wel­come then this hap­py day,
We hail the heav­en­ly King,
We raise with joy our tune­ful lay
And make the wel­kin ring;
With glad­some voice and cheer­ful heart,
We great each oth­er here,
And glad are we to do our part,
And give each oth­er cheer. [Refrain]
