O tell me the story
that never grows old,
The story of One Whom
the prophets foretold;
The Horn of salvation,
the Scepter and Star,
The Light in the darkness
they saw from afar.
It never grows old,
it never grows old,
The story of Jesus
will never grow old!
O tell me the story
that never grows old,
The story the angel
at Bethlehem told;
The Babe in the manger,
of lowliest birth,
The highest archangel
excelling in worth.
It never grows old,
it never grows old,
The story of Jesus
will never grow old!
O tell me the story
that never grows old,
The story the Gospels
repeat manifold;
The love and compassion
in Jesus we trace,
The power and patience,
the glory and grace.
It never grows old,
it never grows old,
The story of Jesus
will never grow old!
O tell me the story
that never grows old,
The story the ages
to come will unfold;
The kindness of God
in redeeming the lost,
The death of our Savior
in paying the cost.
It never grows old,
it never grows old,
The story of Jesus
will never grow old!
