1. A story sweet and wondrous,
Like heav’nly music swells;
In chimings clear to all who will hear,
Ring out the gospel bells.
Chorus:
For God so loved the world
(For God so loved the world)
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosever believeth in Him,
whosoever believeth in Him
Should not perish, should not perish,
But have everlasting life.
(everlasting life.)
2. When, grieving, broken-hearted,
Because of sin and shame,
We find a joy earth cannot destroy,
Believing on His name.
3. This love, beyond all measure
Of earth or sea or sky,
Could only show its full overflow,
When Jesus came to die.
4. Come, brother, come to Jesus;
His word was meant for you;
His grace receive, His promise believe,
And sing His praise anew.
